Originally from Toronto, I currently reside in Fort Collins, Colorado, where I teach ceramics and other classes at both Front Range Community College in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Aims Community College in Greeley, CO. I received a diploma from the School of Craft and Design at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, in 1995, and a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1998.


I have also worked as a studio potter for 7 years, running Wareshana Pottery in Halifax. Nova Scotia. My MFA in Ceramics came from California State University, Fullerton in 2009. After graduation, I was artist-in-resident at Art 342 in Fort Collins, where I fell in love with the area. After a second residence at the PauKune Wanner Art Haus in Severance, I moved into Fort Collins.
