Ceramic Artist and Educator

I have spent much of my adult life teaching science and art to children in museum and studio settings. I love the endless energy from young humans, their beginners mindset and how eager they are to figure out how and why things work. ​

   I studied neuropsychology as an undergrad and conducted research on human and animal behavior. I have also had the pleasure of working as a biology technician for aquatic animal exhibits at the Exploratorium, bringing me once again up close and personal with the animal world in a scientific setting. After enrolling in community college classes for sculpture and ceramics, I fell in love with clay because of its wonderful malleability, the immediacy with which I can execute ideas in a three dimensional form, and clay's endless avenues of exploration during the working process.
