Having painted in my early days, I went to the Memphis Academy of Art to continue. After taking several pottery classes I changed my major. After a couple of summers at Haystack School of Crafts in Maine and graduate school at NY State College of Ceramics in Alfred, NY, I set up my studio. From 1965-1970, I was in Eads, TN and in 1970 I moved to Penland, NC.
Being a full time artist is my passion and pleasure. I hope yours is in the use.
