Welcome! It is great to be here in my new home in Rhinebeck, NY after moving from the Seattle area.  My home studio is complete and I have been busy creating new artwork.  My ceramic art is being offered through Gazen Gallery in Rhinebeck and I am very pleased with the Gallery display and with the owners and staff. I have been a featured artist already and sales have been good. My new work includes a series of porcelain snowflakes (below) for our winter theme at the gallery.  I also recently took part of the second annual Studio Views Tour of Dutchess County and Hudson Valley artists.   This was a wonderful and successful showing for 23 local artists and I am hoping to be a part of it again next year.

My background includes over ten years of creating art pottery using both Raku and electric kiln techniques.  Most of my pieces are wheel thrown and many are embellished by the addition of wood, glass, jade or shells.  My training was on the west coast under accomplished artist Christopher Mathie in Gig Harbor Washington.  Please call me directly or Gazen Gallery if you find something on my site of interest.

 

Information regarding the availability of my artwork can be found on the Links page.  I hope you enjoy your visit.
