I grew up amid rolling hills, talls trees, and a pack of dogs on a farm in Southern, Ohio. After college, my husband and I moved around quite a bit, making stops in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana; all the while I experimented with many different types of media including mosaic, hot glass, jewelry, and paper collage.

Then in the spring of 2006, we took a leap of faith and relocated to the beautiful miidcoast region of Maine. We bought an old house in the lovely little city of Bath, and I began to work in clay full time.

I work in beautiful red earthenware, and always use multiple layers of colored slips and glazes. I celebrate all the marks and fingerprints that give the character of the handmade to my work. I sometimes give cups a little sueeze, in order to make them seem less stiff. I have wonderful fun making pots, and I hope this spirit of play is carried over to the people who live with them!
