I make both pottery and sculpture.
I enjoys designing pots that solve every-day problems, like holding string, separating eggs or growing catnip.
My sculpture is very whimsical and is almost totally obsessed with kitties.
I also like to make noise, and enjoys constructing whistles and rattles.
In addition, I'm honored to make funeral urns for pets who have stepped on a rainbow.
My background...
