I got my BFA in Ceramics at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in 1991. I worked at University of the Arts and Rowan University as the head ceramic tech from 1993-1998. Most of my work is done on the wheel. I’m interested in surface and texture and how the glaze breaks over the patterns. I enjoy making functional items for people’s daily rituals, such as mugs, bowls, tea pots, pitchers, and vases. I work with several types of kilns and clay bodies, to find what works best for specific shapes and designs.

I was able to study pottery in Japan on a scholarship for a summer with several master potters. It gave me a great appreciation for wood firing and using local materials. I use several different clay bodies for specific firings, such as wood firing, salt firing, reduction firings, and oxidation firings. I’m still learning and trying new things and enjoying the ride.
