    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am a studio potter who works in porcelain and stoneware creating one of a kind, functional pottery including whimsical teapots and tea cups, bowls, casseroles, plates, tumblers, platters, vases and tiles.

I have studied under such renowned potters as Clary Illian, Lorna Meaden, Chris Gustin, Steven Hill, Diana Fayt, Meira Mathison, Sylvie Granitelli, Julia Galloway, Bonnie Seeman, Sarah Jaeger, and Sandi Pierantozzi. From each of these wonderful artists, I usually take away a new technique or way of creating that I then incorporate into my own pottery voice.

I am a founding member of the Steamboat Clay Artisans and work with this group on an annual Soup Bowl Supper fundraiser, a holiday sale, summer farmer's market, and educational programs.

In March 2013, my work was featured in the e-commerce publication of Better Homes and Gardens.

My work isalso featured in Best Of America Pottery and Woodworking Artists & Artisans Vol.1 by Kennedy Publishing. And it is featured in the November 2010 issue of AARP magazine.

In April 2009 I was one of the speakers at the national clay conference (NCECA) in Phoenix talking about online selling.

    This project was a personalized coffee mug for my wife, I got to pick her colors and had input on the artwork. The quality of work was excellent and to my specifactions. It had to hold 20 oz., have a thin rim, and not be too heavy (my wife's a little particular)! All specifications were met to a T. My wife LOVES IT. One of the best and most unique gifts I've ever given her.

    2 beautiful large coffee/tea mugs. Really, really lovely. The colors are vibrant and striking, and they're simply a delight to look at. It comforting to know that functional hand made things like this are still available. My wife and I love these mugs; very special.

    The Dragonfly Pottery Mug is nicely made and the motif is attractive and significant. Deb did not have a cup ready at the time of my request but she was able to produce one fairly quickly. The mug fits perfectly in one's hand. Deb was helpful in walking me through the order process. Thank you!
