As a child I loved both the water and art. Now, as an adult, the body of water has changed from ocean to the inland ocean of Lake Michigan. My art training began informally with encouragement by my artist grandmother and mother.

 

Then an art degree in college. Painting was my focus then but a few years after college I fell in love with pottery. It must have been the water!

After 20 years of owning my gallery I decided (with the help of worn out hands) that it was time for a change.
