What you see is what you get. I hope my pots speak for themselves. I want my pots to be strong, vigorous, and bold. Each piece created at the wheel or by hand-building is like itself and no other pot. My work divides between sculptured and functional pots.

I like clay so much I even enjoy wedging. In my studio, Work With Clay, I hold classes and I'm happy to help other people fall in love with clay.

It is a thrill for me to look at pottery in the great museums of the world and relate strongly to the pottery and the potter. I can feel a kinship that makes me a part of the continuous line of potters.

I have studied at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut, American University in Washington, Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, Antioch at Columbia, Maryland, and graduated with honors from the University of Maryland.

I hope you want to touch my pots.
