About Me

I hand-build my ceramic art.  I use both high-fire and mid-fire clay and glazes.   My work is organic in the way I  create it and subsequently in its style.

In 2009 I wanted something therapeutic to do.  I was looking for something where I could lose track of time--and something that had an endless amount of things to learn and discover.  I  decided to take a ceramic hand building class at City College's Fort Mason campus.  It was exactly what I was looking for.  I took the class over and over.  It was held for three hours every Saturday.  In the meantime, I put my name on Ruby's Clay Studio waitlist.  At the time, it was about a two year wait.  I am happy to say I'm still at Ruby's today.  

Nature is a huge inspiration for me.  When I first moved to San Francisco, I loved going on day hikes up at Pt. Reyes.  I would walk for miles and miles.  Every year I would go backpacking to Yosemite.  The landscape with its mountains, immense granite canyons, its rivers and lakes, gave me a serenity like nothing else.  I hope my artwork somehow emotionally connects people to nature.
