I have been playing with clay since I was 8 years old, in a Veterans’ Housing ditch.
My Grandfather told me I would be an artist and I thought it was an order, so veered down that path.
The attraction to clay followed me through Fine Arts and into an apprenticeship. It carried me to Tech work and teaching at Elementary and High Schools, Community Colleges, Community Centres, Universities and studios Public and Private.
I carried my love of clay alongside love of husband, children and grandchildren, friends and collegues.
After 54 years of working as a potter, I still wake up in the morning itchy to get into the studio to play, and excited to pass on what I have learned.
