Home About Contact Gallery Exhibits My journey in clay... I first touched clay as a child and that experience whispered to me throughout my adult life.  I always allowed life to get in the way and it wasn’t until my late 40’s that I really listened.  I took my first pottery class and what a life-changing experience that was!  For years I tried to balance my career and pottery until seven years ago when I began a journey in clay.  I sold most of my possessions and traveled the states to pursue my dream of being a potter. Three years ago a cross country trip landed me in Asheville, North Carolina where I currently maintain a studio/gallery. It's been an exciting adventure that continues to unfold in wonderful and mysterious ways. Not typically one to be still in life, I sit for hours when carving clay.  It is truly a meditative experience and one that keeps me centered and profoundly connected to spirit. My designs are intuitive and each piece is one of a kind. My stoneware pottery is reduction fired to 2400 degrees for a wonderful deep toasty color with the carvings accented with oxides. My black and white porcelain pottery is fired to 2200 degrees in oxidation and I use underglazes to accentuate the carvings. Clay is my life - I wake up looking forward to each day - it doesn’t get better than that.  I am grateful... L
