I have merged a lifetime of experience practicing occupational therapy with a longstanding interest in crafts to enter a new phase in life as a potter. Making pottery, for me, is a visual-sensory-motor experience. My brain gathers messages from my senses and melds them into a uniquely creative and personal process. I enjoy making this transformation accessible as art through my hands.

I am influenced by the art of primitive cultures as well as the multitude of creative people around me, and by my everyday surroundings, which include our apiaries, pollinator gardens, birds and other local wildlife.
