Marble Making Workshop

These are all the marbles I made (except the two that broke). I'll talk about them below.


The three below here are polka-dotted marbles.


The next two are wig wag marbles.


The next one is a ribbon core marble.


Finally, the last marble is an implosion marble.

Ceramics Class

These are some pieces that I threw on the wheel.  The first one is a coffee mug, and the second two are garlic roasters.









Painted Collage Workshop

I just participated in a two day workshop taught by Amie Olvier. We worked on making collages with mixed media and acrylic paint.





This is a small work on paper. It was my inspiration for my two larger works.



This work was created by layering newspaper to create the hills.


This work was created in the same way, but the newspaper is less visable here.
