I grew up here in the Las Vegas area and eventually ended up becoming a Civil Engineer, leaving my dream of becoming an artist behind.  I went on to design and develop housing and commercial projects in around the Las Vegas Valley area.  And then...the housing crash and the recession hit.

​

My proudest accomplishment has been raising my two boys, and honestly it’s my children that rekindled my love for the creative process.  In the housing crash I found myself without a direction and without a job.

 

With my mom's help (a lot of help!) and support of my husband, I decided to focus on my creative abilities and see where it would take me.  Let's just say....Good Therapy!

 

In the past 4 to 5 years I dug deep into my earlier beginnings as a young aspiring artist, as a means to calm my troubled soul.  The slow burning passion exposed itself when I found the potter’s wheel and attended classes with my younger son.  Together we inspired each other and learned our craft and allowed our artistic voice to be heard. 

​

I am very passionate about helping people with my expertise as an Engineer, but I am also very passionate about my creative ideas and inspiring young artists, including my youngest son, Nick.  



Today I am a sculptor and potter, bringing my creations to art shows here in the Southern Nevada area. 

​

At the present time I am the treasurer of the Nevada Clay Guild.    I can be reached at squarepigpottery@cox.net
