My studio is located at the base of the Rocky Mountains close to Glacier National Park. I have been working with clay for over 35 years and have a BA in Education with endorsements in K-12 Art and Reading. I have taught classes to all ages and offer classes, please feel free to contact me for more information.
I make wheel thrown and altered porcelain and white stoneware dining, serving and decorative ware. I seek to enhance the experience of interacting with functional everyday items, encouraging using handmade items daily, art that is used, touched, and enjoyed on an everyday basis. I believe everyone should have and use Art regularly, enhancing and giving elegance to their daily lives. I find great joy and satisfaction in using handmade objects in my everyday life. Making the connection when holding a handmade piece; it was made by human hands. Generating a moment of pause by the user to take in an appreciation of the piece being used; to drink coffee in, eat meals on, and observe artwork around them. By taking in this appreciation and extending it throughout one’s day, that appreciation could open to a whole new world of seeing what’s around us in a whole new way.
I have found joy and inspiration in my studio working with this earthy substance, throwing and altering the shapes. My forms continuously change and progress, having grown from the previous form. This continually brings new shapes and new challenges. I feel I am on a lifelong quest of continually trying to perfect new shapes and forms, finding new beauty and continuous challenges through clay.
All work is fired to 2400 degrees F and is oven, dishwasher & microwave and food safe, except Raku pieces, which are intended for decorative purposes only.
