I have retired from teaching to follow my artistic passions in my home studio. I have spent 40 years living and teaching in Apple Valley, California (located 90 miles northeast of L.A. in the High Mojave Desert). I was an elementary school teacher and coordinator of the school’s ceramics and yearly Arts Attack event.
After a few semesters of ceramics at the local community college I began my clay adventures nearly 35 years ago. I’ve attended many inspiring workshops over the years by Warren MacKenzie, Ken Ferguson, Paul Soldner, Peter Voulkos, Rudy Autio, Don Bendel, Clayton Bailey, Don Reitz, Peter Callas, and Steven Branfman.
