I have loved ceramics since high school, and am excited that I have reached a time in my life that lets me pursue my dream of working with clay. I find clay to be the perfect slate upon which I can express my creative self. I like to incorporate parts of ‘me’ into my pieces, whether it’s the hair from the tail of a favorite horse or lace that was created by my great grandmother. In recent years I have worked in stoneware with horsehair firing and pit firing, Raku firing, and photo images transferred onto the clay. I combine my personal history with the natural beauty of the clay to create objects imbued with a story. I live in New Hampshire where I am a member of the New Hampshire Potters’ Guild.
