“I create usable art—functional ceramics, too nice, hopefully, to hide in a cupboard. Clay is my canvas: I hand-brush all of my glazes into ’scapes’ of bold colors, often mixed with metallics, and elements of texture. My ceramics are food, dishwasher and microwave safe.

“As a functional potter I like to challenge myself to alter ‘ordinary’ forms—cylinders that become mugs, tumblers or vases, and bowls of various shapes—with cutouts, added elements or texture to become artistic forms that retain their functionality.

“My passion for art is lifelong. I’ve worked as a graphic designer for 25+ years, and photography was a hobby long before I discovered ceramics.

“have a home studio in Corvallis and welcome guests by appointment. Please contact me if you’d like to see my ceramics and where they’re made.

“In addition to TEAL, I’m a member of Art in the Valley gallery, the Willamette Ceramics Guild and the Corvallis Art Guild, and I show and sell my work at their galleries or events in Corvallis. I participate in art markets, festivals and events in the Willamette Valley throughout the year. The events page on my website has more information. My ceramics are also available at the Arts Center gift shop in Corvallis.“
