 I spent my childhood near Cleveland, Ohio and went to college in the hills of northern Kentucky, where I lived 28 years. After graduating, a classmate and I opened and operated “Steinkrug Pottery” in a German village in Covington, Kentucky called Main Strasse. My business partner changed careers and I went on to sell wholesale to Kentucky State Parks and various shops and galleries in the Midwest. In 2000, my work was included in the book A Pottery Tour of Kentucky by Joe Molinaro.

 

In 2003 I moved to the desert of Nevada and my pottery influences became the Native American “rock writings” or petroglyphs. There I met my husband Wayne, and together we came to Juneau in 2005 for our Alaskan adventure.
