I’ve just posted photos of my latest work, which I will be taking to the NicFest this weekend.  Please check it out under “Recent Work”.  There is a lot of work, so be sure and check out all the pages.  Thanks for all your support!

The workshop was fabulous!  Connie shared lots of tips, secrets and anecdotes!  Her work is very colorful, fun, and also challenging when you ponder the text she adds to each piece.   I can’t thank her enough for her gracious gifts to our clay community, and our POWR group (Potters of the Wind Rivers) is… read more

Hello Everyone,   Too much time has passed since I’ve visited with you.  That means things have been happening–which is great!  I wrote my first grant on behalf of our new clay guild, Potters of the Wind Rivers (POWR) and we are bringing in Connie Norman from Cheyenne, WY to conduct a workshop.  The response… read more

Five inches of snow here yesterday.  Bummer!  I am very ready for spring!  However, we are grateful for the moisture.   Busy day in the studio.  I’ve made a new damp box which is working beautifully to keep my pieces workable for a longer period of time.  Thanks to Christa Assad for the tip.  … read more

Andy BraymanSam Harvey   Checked out the new show at Harvey/Meadows Gallery over the weekend featuring Sam Harvey of Aspen and Andy Brayman of Kansas City.   Sam is making wonderful hand-made tiles as well as showing for the first time his fabulous, colorful print/collages.  His eye is very astute and his concepts quite interesting.… read more

I hope you enjoy my work.  I love creating objects that are visually stimulating and that invite the viewer’s touch.  The idea that I can connect with my audience in this personal way is very appealing to me.  I would love to hear your comments!
