Resume

My introduction to clay resulted from a need to have something to occupy my time after retirement in 2005. A desire to work as an artist was the outcome of wanting to do something that would differ from a 24 year career as an investment advisor. I have been taking classes and workshops at the Sedona Arts Center since February of 2005, with additional workshops in Sedona, Santa Fe, NM and Certaldo, Italy. I now have my own studio and have worked at developing a unique recognizable style.

My husband Rick and I have always been avid arts supporters and collectors. We were both active board members of several arts organizations in Wilmington, Delaware, where we spent our careers. I served on the board of the Sedona Arts Center from November 2005 until September 2009 and was Treasurer from 2005 to 2008.
