Presented by Wesleyan Potters

My love for art began in high school. The art room became my second home, and after graduation, I chose to follow my love for art at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City as a Fashion Design Major. My first job after school was designing sneakers for Keds USA. Later, married with three children, art became my escape from a hectic household. I found my retreat at Wesleyan Potters. This year marks my tenth anniversary as a member of Wesleyan Potters. My work ranges from large bowls and platters to more detailed pieces that serve as household items. I favor practical, functional pottery which I turn into works of art. No two pieces are the same. Texture and color are key ingredients of my work. I create different textures from multiple sources. Some of my texture tools are found; some are handmade. Most of my work is layered or altered by hand with texture or clay embellishments. All are finished with multiple layers of glaze and fired to cone 10 at 2200 degrees.
