Graphic of lots 
    of different beads and pendants!Welcome to my site.  I have transformed my love for the earth into these small pieces of art.  As earth-tone glazes, rich in organic hues, enhance and highlight the individual clay forms my most important message is to celebrate the fact that these beads and pendants are made of clay - tiny bits of the land we walk and live on.  I always leave a bit of clay showing to remind us of the small pieces of earth that we are holding and wearing.

Each piece is hand formed, glazed and then fired to approximately 2200º Fahrenheit.  The unique colors and shapes of these bead and pendants beg to be made into beautiful, distinctive, wearable art.

Originally from Illinois, my clay work now thrives with North Carolina's pottery traditions and community.
