ABOUT ME
I began as an artist in school drawing on everything,; books, shoes, walls., you name it. My parents were brave enough to let me paint a mural on my ceilng at 12. It seemed like a natural progression to go to art school. I attended Moore College of art and eventually transferred to the Art Institute of Atlanta where I received my degree in Fashion Illustration. My life took many twists and turns and I never did work in the art field.
I spent 17 years chasing criminals in private security and Investigations. but thats a story for another day. In 1998 I no longer had to race around looking for bad guys.
I finally had the opportunity to pursue art again in 2001. I took pottery classes at Earth Center for the arts at Tyler Park, Pa. I had loved pottery in art school but knew that would be a hard way to make a living. So now I had the opportunity to do it for fun.
I spent 4 years working at that studio and loved getting my hands in the Mud. I wanted to spend more time working and knew I would have to have my own space.
I decided I would like to set up my own studio. In 2005 I set up at home with a wheel and by 2007 had prgressed to my own kiln.
Having my own space allows me to explore my creative process at my own place.
