I am incredibly grateful to have received a 2021 Creative Support for Individuals Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. As part of this grant, I created a resource guide for art educators to provide teachers with reference materials and discussion questions based on the work of three contemporary, nationally recognized female BIPOC ceramists.
Thoughtfully Considered
I am grateful to be included in a wonderful show at the Schaller Gallery this July. Thoughtfully Considered features the work of Mary Barringer, Susan Dewsnap, Sandy Lockwood, Jenn Cole, Leah Lewiston, Nan Coffin, Pete Pinnell, Steve Rolf, Dan Finnegan, Brian Westrick, Mike Helke, and Richard Burkett.

Conservatory
If you’re on the UMN St. Paul Campus, stop by the newly renovated College of Biological Sciences Conservatory & Botanical Collection.

My tiles are now permanently installed in the lobby.
