Art and teaching have been the focus of my career for over 30 years.  Although ceramics was my primary
art form for 24 years, I have also worked in many other media such as: mixed media, painting, poetry and
monoprinting.  I am currently focusing on Clay Monotype.  Selling my work in art shows, stores and
galleries has kept me focused and  motivated.  Teaching ceramics, drawing and monoprinting to children
and adults in my Clay Art Studio in Alameda, CA, allows me to share what I learn and to inspire interest in
the arts.  My community volunteer work, mostly in art organizations, has also inspired and given me the
opportunity to share my gifts with the universe.
