Originally from Germany, now living in Loudoun County, VA. Creating pottery for the past 25+ years. Joined the Art League in Alexandria in 2010. My artwork has been exhibited at the Art League Gallery, Gallery 75, WLAST (Western Loudoun Art Studio Tour), Art at the Mill, and the Purcellville Art Gallery. My teachers were Blair Meerfeld, Allison Severance, Kathlyn Avila-Reyes, Goksin Carey, George Tkabladze and Kirsten Stingle. Recepient of the Dennis Davis Award for Excellence in Ceramics two years in a row. (2024/25-Art League)
My passion are animals and harmony with nature. I try to incorporate that love into my art-work by creating whimsical, sometimes thought-provoking sculptural pieces that will make the observer smile and maybe dream a little. I also like making occasional hand built dinnerware pieces.
My work is not intended to be perfect or industrial looking. On the contrary - I always do want a little bit of organic and natural elements shining through. That's why I sometimes incorporate other elements into my work like beads, wood, feathers and other organic matters.
