Artist Bio

I am a St. Louis native and my path to becoming a sculptor has taken many turns. Initially, I pursued a career in math earning a BS in Actuarial Science in 1988.  When my husband and I decided to start a family, I left the corporate world to embrace my role as a mother.

While my main focus was raising my two children, I did spend a considerable amount of time volunteering and supporting our small real estate business.

As my children reached high school age, I contemplated my future. I had always had a passion for art and creativity so among the various options open to me, art felt like the path that was the most authentic for me. I returned to college, earned my BFA, and found clay as my medium of choice.

Sculpting figures became my focus. I've come to understand that my art is a way to visually express my ideas and emotions while embracing creations connect to others in a way that affirms their journeys, emotions and stories.
