I am a Ceramic Artist and Master Carpenter. I earned my MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 1984, with a focus on ceramic sculpture, installation and performance art. In 1991, I started MATTER, a handmade, custom furniture design and manufacturing business. Today I maintain a professional woodshop and ceramic studio, where I design and build custom woodwork and create my ceramic pieces, and where I have taught classes in ceramics and woodworking.
I have always envisioned expanding my studio space to include an art gallery that would embrace and celebrate diverse local artists working in a range of artistic mediums. On December 2, 2018, this dream became a reality with the opening of our debut exhibition, Unearthing Matter.
