Ceramic Artist

I have a BA in fine arts and education. I live and work in both Illinois and Colorado and have shown my work nationally and internationally.  

I love the Earth!  And I pay homage and reverence to it everyday by wrapping my hands around clay dug from the planet I live in.  My work centers around three themes:  galaxies, desert flora and hydrospheres.  My current work focuses on the earth's hydrospheres.  And my inspiration comes from snorkeling and discovering coral reefs and sea anemones.  I hope my sculptures help make us more aware of their profound beauty  and drive us all to protect them from environmental extinction. 

Explore the shapes, surface texture and colors of the undeniable presence of nature in my sculptures. I use clay and minerals  as my vehicle to interpret the majesty of the physical world and the cosmos.
