Pottery was first introduced to me one summer in late high school... It was a brief program, but the feeling of joy while throwing pots on the kick wheel would stay with me. I moved to NYC for Parsons and then worked in fashion design for 20 years, immersed in the culture and chaos of the city.

 

In 2020, we moved back to Georgia looking for a change of pace, but soon after, found myself missing a creative outlet and community. The search for this and the memory of joy from many years ago led me to Art Center West. I feel so lucky to be a part of this studio with its outstanding teachers, wonderful facilities, and supportive community.

 

It's hard to express just how important this haven of a studio and community is... but I hope to give back by being a part of the board!
