About.
I received her BFA in Ceramics from Alfred University and my MFA in Ceramics and Mixed Media Sculpture from Pennsylvania State University. I was awarded the Summer SIX Fellowship from Skidmore College in 1997 &1998 and taught Fine Art at Ossining High School in New York where I developed an extensive ceramic curriculum.
​
Since moving to the UK in 1999, I have continued to work as both a practicing ceramic artist and educator. I was a member of Fireworks Clay Studios from 2000 until September 2023 recently moving to a larger space in number 21 Tudor Lane.
I have exhibited nationally and internationally in both group and solo exhibitions, contributing to various publications, teaching ceramics and fine art at university level, leading workshops in schools and community groups and have undertaken various residencies. I have also worked on a number of commissions, including work for the British Television series Sherlock Holmes and most recently for the Maggie's Centre in Cardiff. I received an Arts Council Development Grant in 2005 and the Gold Medal for Craft and Design at the National Eisteddfod in 2016, My work has recently been purchased by the Contemporary Art Society for the Contemporary Ceramics Collection at the National Museum Wales.
​
Exploring and developing forms that are found in modern and brutalist construction, interiors and domestic spaces is the foundation of my work. Up until recently, my focus has been building stacked ware that when deconstructed introduced theatre to both individual and communal dining Presently, I have been researching and developing surface designs on the exterior of functional and sculptural forms, considering those domestic interiors as well as textiles and graffiti, utilising drawing, glaze and ceramic transfers.
