For as long as I can remember I was doing some form of art- started with drawing and painting and fibre arts. I initially started a fine arts degree program but soon felt the need to do something else. I became a nurse, had children, and art took a back seat. Just in the past 10 years or so I dug out my art supplies and started again: acrylic painting, pottery, oil painting and then trying my hand at unconventional media such as encaustic,cold wax and oil painting and Eco printing. My tendencies are towards color of all kinds- earthy, organic, botanical, with abstracted landscapes being my favorite. I bought myself a wheel and a kiln and had some great mentor friends who were willing to answer my multitude of questions and to help me on my otherwise self taught journey. My ceramics reflect those botanical, earthy elements, but are functional ware at the same time.
