Item Description

I was born in Los Angeles but moved to the redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains when I was 1. My father worked in medical science and my mother was a horse trainer and artist. This provided me doorways into two vastly different worlds. My childhood was filled with the wild magic of nature tempered with a scientists’ desire for logic and order. Drawing from both, I developed a deep appreciation for color, symmetry and pattern and found myself drawn to the arts as a way to communicate my experiences. As I grew older, art and design became more and more a part of the fabric of my being and I enjoyed careers working as an illustrator, painter, graphic artist, and costume designer.

After many adventures I moved back to Los Angeles where I found myself searching for another creative outlet, something to ground me. I fell in love with the work of a few local Los Angeles ceramists’ and was inspired to sign up for pottery classes. It turned out to be what I had been searching for.. Pottery is a return to the bridge between my two childhood worlds. It is the intertwining of nature and science in the name of art.. It is color, texture, and pattern anchored in the very earth we inhabit. It is beautiful.
