SHIPS OF THE SEA MARITIME MUSEUM

I am a multi-faceted artist with a newfound passion for ceramics. My former career as a botanical painter lends itself beautifully to capturing designs in clay. I delight in the challenge of translating my love of minute and meticulous detail onto a new medium. I also love exploring the nuances of color achieved through glazing and layering.

As an artist, I adore playing and experimenting with color, pattern, and imagery in any medium. I divide my time between a serious pursuit of the creation of botanical fine art, in either watercolor or oil paints, a playful exploration of collage, printmaking, paper craft, book binding, and ceramics.

I have always maintained my passion for creating art while pursuing other avenues. With a master’s degree in International Relations, I worked in the federal government and in environmental advocacy for several years before turning my attention fully to painting and eventually ceramics. I am a member of both the Botanical Art Society of the National Capitol Region and the American Society of Botanical Artists, as well as the District Clay Center in Washington D.C. and Clayer in Thunderbolt, Georgia. I divide my time between Washington, D.C. and Tybee Island, Georgia.
