About me..
Welcome to my website. I am a potter, and painter, and painter of pots. I show my work at the Sandstone Gallery in Billings, Montana. I have two beautiful daughters whom are also artists. Lately, I seem to be spending more time as a mom than and artist, but they are my best work.
I am inspired by places I've traveled, and most everything I see. A trip to The Big Island of Hawaii spurred on a series of painted pots centering around sea critters I love. I have recently completed a series of pots dedicated to the beach. Something about the colors and memories that they evoke. It's my warm happy place!
The process of painting my hand thrown pots in underglazes is both rewarding, and a little tedious. I wont know how the painting will finally look until the last clear coat firing. Often times, a piece may be fired anywhere from 2 to 5 times to get just the right depth and look I'm after. All of my pieces are one of a kind originals.
