Artist Statement

Art has always been an integral part of my life; it continually pulls and stretches me in new
and exciting directions. No matter what is going on in my life I constantly feel the need to make art, teach art, see art, and learn more about art. It is the way I relate to the world. I have always considered myself a painter, however over the years I have been drawn to ceramics because I love to produce and see instant results. I have a passion for surface decoration and enjoy painting and carving. My work typically depicts the beautiful state I live in.
As a retired art educator have spent the past year refining my pottery skills and painting. My future includes pursuing my artistic endeavors in functional pottery, painting and printmaking.
We recently moved from Lander to Laramie to be closer to our family. I am looking forward to meeting new people and fellow artists.
