Artist and educator

I discovered the art of Ceramics in college as I leaped toward defining myself as a true artist. Early in my life, I understood art as solely drawing and painting, and closed the chapter on it. Then one day when registering for my junior year classes the only class available in the criteria I needed was ceramics. I was confused, I couldn’t take ceramics! I was a drawing and painting person! People say in life what’s meant to be will find its way to you. That’s my love story with three-dimensional art. I took that introductory Ceramics class and never looked back. The world told me that’s where I should be, and I couldn’t believe how natural some of it came to me.

I am a South Carolina Certified K-12 Art Educator with a passion for teaching others. I’ve been an educator for over twenty years, and have worked in the public school sector, and believe a good teacher can make anyone successful and feel inspired to create.

As a working artist, I make pottery in collections by what inspires and influences me. My newest pottery collection is called the 2000’s collection. This recent collection is based on the nostalgia of my traveling to Italy in my early 2000’s, my observations, and the European lifestyle. I gave careful thought to what you’d find on the Italian table and the sweetness of how they enjoy life. All my pieces are fully handmade, bisque fired, then hand glazed , and glaze fired.
