"I became fascinated with pottery as a teenager, but it wasn’t until I completed one career as a dancer and then a second career as an executive in pharmaceutical marketing, that I found my way back to my enduring passion: ceramic arts.

"I learned the fundamentals of my craft from several master potters in the Northeastern United States and continue to develop my ceramic technique with the same discipline I applied to ballet. I have exhibited in over a dozen art galleries and participated in a few hundred art/craft shows, including those of the Potters' Guild of New Jersey, an organization where I served as President (2004-2006). Several of my pieces have received prizes for excellence at the juried art shows in which they appeared.

"No two items are identical in my repertoire of vases, plates, platters, bowls, pitchers, and other ceramic pieces. My forms are highly sculptural, and each expresses the sense of motion through its flowing shape and in the patterns of the glazes, paintings, and carvings.

"My goal is to instill in others, through my pottery, the sense of freedom and exhilaration of dance."
