Life is about learning and finding your joy.

I love sharing mine with you!

My current work is centered in combining my two passions while attempting to achieve

their harmonious relationship to one another, playing off of each medium with texture, color and form.

The felted wool fibers compliment the Raku fired vessels while tantalizing my senses. The addition of glass beads, precious metal clay and other mediums help create the magic in each piece. Combining these materials challenges my creativity while stretching my imagination to see what adventures in my work will unfold.

I continue to explore with gratitude!
