Shop In Person at my
​new home showroom!

You can finally shop in person as I recently finished setting up a "show-wall" in my office of our home in Brown Deer!  I want to give a huge shout out to my neighbors Lupe & Zena, proprietors of Z-MAC Electric who helped me set up the lighting and also some electrical work for my kiln.  They are the sweetest couple, and so fun and generous in spirit. They even made this promotional video, can you believe that? I highly recommend giving them a call if you are looking for electrical work in the Milwaukee area.  Thanks Lupe & Zena!

2026 Brown Deer Medallion Hunt

Another fun year with the Village of Brown Deer Medallion Hunt in May, 2026. I created my version of the Cafè Corazòn Catrina Calavera wearing a big floral hat.
Here is the story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about Melanie Berg, the finder of the Medallion this year.

USGA Women's Open Event

Last Spring of 2025 was focused on the USGA Women's Open Golf Championship held at the end of May.
I was fortunate to be featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Business section about my participation.
The USGA (United States Golf Association) commissioned me to create a limited edition collection of handmade pottery for the 80th U.S. Women’s Open Championship, which took place May 24 – June 1, 2025, at the stunning Erin Hills Golf Course in Erin, Wisconsin.

This time-lapse video offers a glimpse into my intricate process—from wheel to finished piece—highlighting the craftsmanship behind every item. Each piece is entirely handmade, painted, and carved using her signature sgraffito technique.

The design features the elegant shamrock logo of Erin Hills, enhanced with flowing carved lines that echo the undulating hills of the course. The exclusive collection includes a 13-inch platter, small plate, large and small vases, mason jar-style mugs, wine cups, and small bowls. These one-of-a-kind pieces are sold out but I do have some samples and seconds that I am willing to sell at my home studio.

Special thanks to Amy McFarland and Maria Terres for the beautiful music accompanying the video. You can find their album Laughing Matters at: https://rareprivilege.bandcamp.com/al....

Bleeding Hearts Sgraffito demo

In 2021, I created a new pattern - Bleeding Hearts. One of my favorite flowers as we have many growing all around our back yard. Spring is my favorite time of year as the shoots and leaves of this amazing plant are sprouting forth from the ground.
The Bleeding Heart pattern is definitely my most complicated to date.  It consists of a different approach to applying my colored slip. A more painterly technique, I brush on layers of the different colors in specific areas on the piece before I do the carving. Once carved, I then paint on additional highlights of color to define the flower's details and ad a little more depth.  Video Above.

Virtual Studio Tour

If you have not visited me at my home studio, and are curious about how and where I work, I created this virtual tour of my studio that includes some demonstrations of how I make my work. Thanks for watching! Approximately 17 minutes long.
