Stoneware Pottery - Functional & Decorative Stoneware :: pba pottery :: Home
Description
I barely knew clay existed until my sophomore year of college when I began taking the Bethel College Art curriculum in reverse. Starting with Sculpture, I moved back through 3-Dimensional design before arriving in the clay studio. Once I arrived, I rarely wanted to leave.
I was (and am) inspired by the work of Kirk Freeman, a humorous soul and an amazing artist that first taught me to throw and is still generously supporting me through creative spurts and long dry spells. I served as a teaching assistant under Kirk for 2 years, graduated from Bethel with a Bachelor's in Studio Art in '93 and promptly joined the corporate realm which I allowed to dramatically cut into my creative time.
After 8 years at a large financial institution (including 4 during college), I transitioned into the realm of business and technology consulting. I have been a consultant within several organizations with roles/responsibilities that include Business Analysis, Web site Design and Construction, Business Continuity Planning, and Group Facilitation and Training. I recently transitioned back into a corporate environment as a Business Analyst for Target Corporation.
