My earliest memory is of playing with play dough and now here I am playing with clay for a living. I never tire of swirling the colors of polymer clay together to mix new colors and then build a millefiore cane. The millefiore process of stacking colors together to form a cane of color that can be sliced to reveal a tiny design or picture never ceases to amaze me. I use these tiny slices to construct larger sculptures of whimsical women and animals.

Sometimes it seems that these women and creatures just climb out of my piles of polymer clay. I like to turn everyday objects or happenings into magical stories that come to life with my sculptures. My two daughters are constantly inspiring me and suggesting sculptures to me- dancing winged cats, women flying with dogs. I love to capture that sense of fantasy and mix it with everyday life. I hope those that experience my sculptures can feel some of that childhood magic that I feel as I play with my clay.
