Background
Coming from a family of artists I learned to oil paint at age eleven, however it wasn't until I entered college that
I began to work with clay. There I found a passion for working in three dimensions using several different media. Finding
clay to be the most versatile I chose to major in ceramics. In 1998 I graduated from Southern CT State University with BS
in ceramic and received the Mary Sacks Ceramics award. I have been working as an independent artist ever since.
Artistic Philosophy
I began my career as a sculptor but found that this form of art lacked any connection with the customer. After leaving
college I started my own pottery business, specializing in one of a kind teapots. The knowledge that something I created
would be used in someone's everyday life made pottery much more rewarding for me. I enjoy the idea that someone will begin
their day with coffee drunk from a mug of mine or that someone will play a drum of mine as there friends dance around them.
