I'm a painter and a potter living in  Springfield, IL. I became involved in these two art forms after retiring. They allowed me to explore a world of creativity that I had not experienced during the early years of my life. ​I use painting, ceramic pottery, drawing and printing making to connect with my Creator in a new and special way. 

​

I have found that the creative side of us can easily be smothered by life's responsibilities. Creativity allows me to release my feelings, both good and bad in a way that brings comfort and pleasure to others. In ceramic pottery making, it's unbelievable how one can take a hand full of clay dirt and create a vessel that can be useful and still exist for centuries to come. My art is a present day connection with the future. 

​

I encourage you to explore your potential and freedom found in the Arts. You will never regret it!
