Inspired by the avant-garde techniques of artist Richard Jackson, this class places the emphasis on process before product. Students will experiment, explore, and will assemble recycled materials to make a sculpture that moves and creating “accidental” abstract paintings.

Her reverence for nature and love of the outdoors has brought her to Sacramento, which inspire her choice of subjects.

She works in her studio to create thrown ceramics while she applies the strengths of her medium to achieve rich matte surfaces and vibrant organic forms.
