Coming to ceramics with a background in the sciences, she naturally found her passion in glaze chemistry. For the past decade she has been working with crystalline glazes and more recently with iridescent in-glaze lusters. She exhibits at fine art festivals throughout the country and spends countless hours testing and developing glazes.
