Artist's Statement

I have been working in clay for almost 15 years and came to find my love for clay by taking a ceramics class to fulfill a diversity course for my business degrees.

The first time I put my hands in clay I experienced a connection that I have never felt before. At that moment I knew that this is what I was suppose to do in my working life.

* Demonstrations take place at the Welcome Center, and participation is included with Admission to Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill
