When I enrolled in the School of Fine Arts at Ohio State University in 1962, little did I know that it would lead to a life-long love affair with clay. The world of clay was so different then and so much smaller. Our text was Daniel Rhodes' "Clay and Glazes for the Potter," and there was little else out there. I just knew that I couldn't stay away from clay and the fun of taking a formless lump of nothing and turning it into something beautiful. It amazes me even more today how limitless the possibilities seem to be.


	"All this of Pot and Potter.......Tell me then, Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?" The Rubaiyat

For about 20 years I had a studio and sales room in Carmel Valley, California and then I lived for 12 years at South Lake Tahoe, California, where I taught for a few years at the community college while working in a home studio. Recently I moved to Ashland, Oregon with my new husband and we have bought a house that includes a wonderful barn. It will become the studio and gallery of my dreams! (Well, almost.)

I enjoy so many aspects of working with clay, from throwing small cups to hand building sculptural pieces, and firing in different ways, whether high fire reduction or primitive pit firing. Below is a sample of some of my work, including horsehair raku fumed with ferric chloride, high fire ash glazes and saggar firing.

I'm anxious to get the barn converted into my studio and start working again. Then I'll have my own website and some new work!
