Bio:
I fell in love with pottery when I was a junior in high school. This love of creating clay forms led me to decide that I was going to be a potter when I grew up. I was accepted at The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University based on my portfolio work.
Little did I know, I would never grow up.
After leaving school, I traveled around the country in a 1971 Pinto with extended stays in New York, Virginia, Wisconsin and Birmingham. I eventually settled in Atlanta, GA where I tried for 27 years to live the life expected of me, working corporate jobs and such.
I have finally returned to the wheel and to the career that has been calling to me to get “back down to Earth.” I now throw at my studio in East Atlanta Village . My award-winning works have been shown in juried shows in the New York and Atlanta Metro areas including the Telephone Factory Lofts Art Show and the Inman Park Festival.
