My imagination was trained in the irrigation ditches on the 100^th Meridian Line. I now live in the city and have gained a balanced perspective on our nation’s water and drought issues. I am a listener and watcher of people and the environment.

My ceramic artwork focuses on water usage in the Great Plains area: a regional concern related to the phenomenon of global drought. The artworks reference the increasing struggles over water rights and are based on first hand observations and scientific data.
