What do you love about Art Clay?
I love how pliable and
manageable Art Clay is.

What are your favorite Art Clay
projects/creations?
I enjoy making hinged boxes and
one of my favorites is my hinged
pendant with a collage on the
inside, as well as a hinged box
ring, because of its tiny size
and flower encased in resin in
the interior. I’m fond of my
boxes as they provide me with
the opportunity to add a little
surprise on the inside.

What other media do you work
and/or teach in?
I also like the fabrication
process of working in sterling
silver and other metals:
sawing, filing and soldering.
Occasionally I dabble in paper
arts, such as collage and card
making.

Biography:
I’ve always enjoyed artistic
pursuits, reading and cooking.
As a child in New York, I
started ballet dancing at the
age of three, and at the age of
ten, I learned to play the
accordion. I dabbled in a
variety of art mediums, but I
didn’t find anything to hold my
interest till I started working
in metals. I studied
metalsmithing at the local
college, as well as at numerous
workshops all over the US. In
1994 I graduated from The First
Institute of Gemology & Jewelry,
Coral Gables, FL. In 2001, I
took my first metal clay class
and instantly fell in love with
this fabulous material. My four
grown daughters all enjoy
wearing my creations, as does my
“Yorkie”, who proudly wears her
metal clay butterfly name tag.
My husband had a beautiful
studio built for me in our home,
and for the past several years
I’ve been teaching private
classes and at the local
college. Because of health
problems, I reluctantly decided
to discontinue teaching and
devote more time to studio work.

Philosophy:
I’ve always found joy in
artistic endeavors, but
working with metal clay has
opened a whole new world for
me. The process of creating
is as fulfilling and
rewarding as reaching the
end result. When you can
call your work “play”, life
is good.
