I love to travel and experience other cultures and have been lucky enough to live in many wonderful places.

I was born in Yokohama Japan and grew up mainly in Nurnberg and Heidelberg, Germany. My husband and I have lived in Bangkok Thailand, where our first son was born. In the US we have lived in Rochester NY, Seattle WA, Brea CA, Miami FL, Atlanta GA, and now Oakland CA.

Artist in Ceramics since 1988. Attended the School for the American Craftsman in upstate NY, both as the Artist in Residence and as a graduate student.

I have participated in both juried Craft and gallery shows, and enjoy commission work.
