Member of the Society of Creative Anachronism since 2006. “The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an inclusive community pursuing research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat and culture. The lives of participants are enriched as we gain knowledge of history through activities, demonstrations, and events.” I started in the in the Kingdom of Caid, Barony of Calafia (San Diego County, Southern California) in 2006. I now reside in the Middle Kingdom (Midwest region) in the Barony of the Flame (Louisville, Kentucky). I research and recreate pottery objects and illuminations that were found and in use pre 17th Century. I participate in SCA events, fairs and school demos where I display/share my works and research.

Trained under celebrated Korean American ceramic artist YC Kim who was a student of Peter Volkas. I have a degree in Ceramic Art from Mesa College in San Diego. I have exhibited in various college, outside art shows and SCA events winning awards for ceramic, wire and glass sculpture. I have received several SCA local art’s champion awards. I have also been awarded Best in Show at the Del Mar Fair in San Diego for sculpture.

My expertise is in Asian art and ceramics. My current area of study is Islamic art specifically the ceramics from the kilns of Raqqa, Syria. Other inspirational ceramicists who have influenced my work are Karen Karnes and Shoji Hamada and Shinsaku Hamada. Additionally, Georgia O’Keeffe who also created ceramic sculptures has inspired my work. I am a member of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in New Mexico.

I have taught pottery for about 25 years at my home studio and previously at my studio in San Diego as a juried member of Spanish Village in Balboa Park.
