Tour Stop 9: Whimsy

I have always been an eclectic artist who enjoys exploring different mediums. I first discovered my passion for ceramics at a community center class in Fairfax 23 years ago. When we moved to Lovettsville in 2011, I began taking classes with Kristen Swanson at White House Ceramics. I have since been influenced and instructed by many other local ceramic artists, and I now teach classes at two other studios in Loudoun County. Over the years I have developed my own style and decorative techniques, which involve carving designs and patterns into the clay after throwing and trimming on the wheel. My pottery is practical enough for everyday use and beautiful enough for special occasions.
