Clay is a medium in which there are endless possibilities in exploration. As a designer with a BFA in graphic design, I combine my love for proportion, scale and balance into my clay work. I've been designing children's books for over 25 years and my clay work is inspired by my design work, incorporating a whimsical-sophistication with lots of color, texture and pattern. I work in brown speckled stoneware fired at cone 6 in an electric kiln. Most pieces are a combination of underglaze and white gloss glaze. Some of my pieces are thrown on the wheel, and others I hand build to incorporate texture. I am an artist at the Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY. I sell my work in the following galleries and shops: Clay Art Center gallery, The Garrison Art Center, and the Princeton University Art Museum store. My work has been exhibited in juried shows at the Garrison Art Center and the Clay Art Center in 2022, and 2023.
