MEET OUR GALLERY ARTISTS

Ceramic Artist/Teacher since 1975

I have been making, teaching and selling my work since Undergraduate School. I had many different hats to wear during that time and always including teaching (Artist in School programs and Community Centers) and my clay work. I have told my students that all of my adult choices have been based upon clay and a place to make and fire it, and show and sell it. Today I am doing less production works but still doing functional pieces. Since 1973 I have loved to do Raku firing and have in the past 4 years concentrated more on this process.
