ARTIST INFORMATION
My grandfather was a cabinetmaker.  When I was about five years old, children were not allowed into his work area.  At the farm when everyone was outside, I would sneak into the wood shop.  I was in "paradise," staring at the wood and tools.  I would run my hand over the woods and touch the tools dreaming of building something someday.

I had been working in clay about twenty years, thinking the wood skills could start.  I wanted to do more with my tiles.  I started reading book after book, and then just began working in wood.  I met woodworker Bob Jackson, who taught a wood working class for women only. He fine tuned my skills and opened wide the door to the world of woodworking and using exotic woods.

The clay tiles and wood are a marriage of materials that are endless in design. They are joyfully keeping a smile on my face and my heart warm with creativity.

I have a small showroom attached to my studio that you are welcome to visit. Please call for studio hours. I do art fairs and am not always there.
