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 currently included in "PITH - A Special Exhibition" which opened May 2025 at Roll & Hill, an Architecture & Lighting Design Showroom in Tribeca, NY: an invitational to 6 ceramic artists. And have been seen in 4 juried Exhibitions at the International Museum of Dinnerware Design - "PICNIC", "BUTTER", "BREAKFAST" & "ENTOMOPHAGY". A 3-piece porcelain hand painted breakfast serving set "SUNSHINE & SUGAR" is now a part of the IMoDD Museum's Permanent Collection.

​

Other exhibitions have included PopUp Markets at Newfield's (Previously known as the Indianapolis Museum of Art), numerous Tokyo-NYC Friendship Association Ceramic Competitions in NYC, shows at The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Gallery, The Fountain Square Clay Center, Second Story Studio, B3 Gallery, 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.
