I was introduced to clay in a basic ceramic class at Keystone College in 1996. It was there that I saw artist and professor Bill Tersteeg turn a large bowl on his wheel. I fell in love with clay as a medium because I was able to manipulate it in many ways far easier than painting or drawing. After achieving my AFA, I then spent three years at Marywood University where I completed my BFA in Ceramics. During that time I worked as an apprentice at Wild Flower Pottery in Thompson PA, with artist Sharon DiGennaro.
