Pottery

Ceramics is a primary field of art to me as I am tuned into its innate linkwith the earth, and I hold a respect for its stability of existence.  My creative styles range from functional to sculptural.  I find myself creating work in small series, but maybe pieces still emerge as “one of a kind”.  It is a nice balance between exploring an idea of technique and allowing items to come as they do singularly.  There is a content moment of joy with each piece when I hold it as dry, unfired greenware.  It is fragile and beautiful in this state.  Into the kiln it goes, and out it comes as ceramic, ready for glaze.

I always considered art as a true part of my life, and a guiding force for my personal life and career. After graduating from Grand Valley High School, I received an Associate of Art from Lakeland COmmunity College, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Ceramics from Kent State University. I’ve lived in Newbury for over 20 years, and I enjoy teaching at various Art Centers in Ceramics and Children’s Art.  I currently serve as Program Director at Fairmount Center for the Arts.
