Artist Bio: I earned a BA with an emphasis in ceramics at the University of California in Pennsylvania. At West Virginia University I earned a BFA in ceramics I received my MFA Degree at Wichita State University in 1994. In 1995 I relocated to Indiana and began teaching at the Indianapolis Art Center where I have taught for 13 years. In 1998 I remodeled and converted a freestanding garage into a studio and began the long process of saving money and collecting bricks to build my own high fire kiln. In 2002 I had equipped my studio enough to leave my full time job in middle management (50 hours a week) and pursue my living as an artist. In 2003 I received a grant from the Indiana Individual Artist Grant Program and got the burners for my kiln making it operational. The kiln that I built provides me the opportunity to make the sculptural work that I love and the thrown and altered vessels that constitute the marketable work that I sell. I make two bodies of work that relate to each other conceptually through the use of the female form. Since 2002 I have been making my living by selling my work at juried art fairs 10 to 20 shows a year. In 2003 I began teaching at Ball State University as an assistant Professor on contact basis to the present. Throughout my career I have maintained an active exhibition record by pursuing gallery venues and juried shows |

Hi Kimberly,
I just got my portfolio entered on this site and I now am paying more attention to others portfolios and comments. We all work hard as artists. Especially with clay. We cannot see the finished piece as a painter can. I know with my own work I hold my breath sometimes when I open my kiln after a glaze firing. Being part of this group I have decided to check out as many fellow clay artists and comment on their work. I feel it is appropriate for support in this field and for morale. It can be discouraging to never find any comments. Yours is the first comment I am making. I like the look of your work especially the set of glasses. Be cool, Valerie
