Bio
I am a full-time studio potter, and part-time workshop leader and instructor in Massachusetts. I received my BFA in Ceramics from the N.Y.S.C.C. at Alfred University and MFA in Ceramics from Ohio University. My professional experience includes being an Artist-in-Residence with studio potter John Glick in Farmington Hills, MI, as well as at Guldagergård in Skælskør, Denmark, the Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, TN and the Worcester Center for Crafts in Worcester, MA. I have exhibited my work internationally in juried and invitational exhibitions, as well as taught workshops around North America at craft centers and universities. My work is in numerous private and public collections including the Taipei County Yingee Ceramics Museum in Taipei, Taiwan, the Guldagergård Museum of International Ceramic Art in Skælskør, Denmark, and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in Fort Wayne, IN.
Artist Statement
Inspired by diverse cultures, materials and objects, I create contemporary pottery that embraces the sophistication and detail of past eras mixed with modern beauty and merriment.
In the making of these Victorian modern porcelain vessels, my influences range from 18th c. silver service pieces to Elizabethan and couture clothing and from Art Nouveau illustrations to cake fondant and vintage wallpaper. Such diversity combined with my own background and distinct studio processes culminate into a unique style.
Graceful forms, elegant patterns and lively colors convey a design that is robust as well as romantic and lavish.
