For
twenty years I was a full-time potter with my own studio, One Sky
Pottery. I was successful in winning regional and national awards;
placing pottery in regional and national collections; and was featured
in Pottery Tour. When arthritis in my neck necessitated giving
up ceramics, I was at a crossroads. I knew I could not work any
longer with the physical demands of clay but I had not planned to
give it up and had no idea what to do next.
I have always loved fabric and “stuff.” For years I
collected vintage little odds and ends of things that caught my
attention: some kind of funky toy, an art deco button, a silly salt
and pepper shaker. I decided to combine the love of cloth and “stuff”
and create a new kind of art.
As you will see, I have been very busy the last five years. I have
received numerous grants and scholarships; been featured in "Arts
Across Kentucky" and "Today's Woman" and featured
on the show "Mixed Media." I have exhibited as far away
as Berlin, Germany where my work was picked as the icon for the
2004 International Show of Assemblage Artists.
My work can be seen in Louisville, Kentucky
at Pyro Gallery.
I am available for commissions and corporate
purchases.
