I’m a former professional Dancer and grew up in Indianapolis while dreaming of pursuing a Broadway Musical Theater Life in New York City. While dancing in a regional ballet company, I earned an M.A., then moved to NYC... and loved every single moment of my Dancing Life, performing, choreographing, and teaching there!  I discovered Clay Love at Greenwich House Pottery NYC in 2007 after my Dance career had ended and my beautiful daughter Heather had left home. My first classes were with Peter Lane, who nurtured my new language in clay, encouraged personal style and emphasized the discipline and importance of technical practice - so similar to the need for discipline, focus and practice in Dance. Working with clay became my new Dance - creating movement in porcelain stillness my motif!

My clay loves are available at

• The Fountain Square Clay Center Gallery - in the heart of Fountain Square at 950 Hosbrook Street, Indianapolis, IN

• Second Story Studio Gallery, 61 West Main Street, on the 2nd Floor Nashville, IN - the historic artistic community in Brown County - an area dear to my heart and childhood memories.  

My clay loves have been included in 3 Exhibitions at the Internation Museum of Dinnerware Design - "BUTTER", "BREAKFAST" & "ENTOMOPHAGY" and a breakfast serving set "SUNSHINE & SUGAR" are now a part of the Museum's Permanent Collection. Recent exhibitions have included "PITH - A Special Exhibition" May 2025 at Roll & Hill, an Architecture & Lighting Design Showroom in Tribeca, NY: numerous Tokyo-NYC Friendship Association Ceramic Competitions in NYC, shows at The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Gallery, The Fountain Square Clay Center, ETHOS - an Art Fair, the Casa de Costa Gallery, and the Jane Hartsook Gallery of Greenwich House Pottery.  But most fun of all, uniquely yours, my clay loves are wheel thrown, hand painted, dipped & splashed - created one piece at a time, every step #handmadewithlove, by me, and now decorate the windows and tables of family and friends all over the world.
