POTTERY & PAINTINGS

I love mixing and layering translucent colors using soft Chinese brushes whether it’s on pottery or paper.   Soft hand-built clay shapes with fruit & floral motifs in watercolor Maiolica style are mainly what I’m known for but lately I’ve been painting large watercolors of kelp and other plants from the sea.  If you come to my studio you will see a few oil paintings and lots of watercolors and pottery.   My background is the study of fine art, Chinese brush strokes, textile design and architecture.   I have been teaching and creating my work in Point Reyes Station for 20 years.
