My first experience with concrete took place in 2000 while pouring pier caps during the renovation of my house. I followed an inspiration that day and created my first bowl.

Birdbaths lined with cut mirrors and tile pieces and bowls embellished with broken souvenir glass generated attention that led to participation in art shows in Chattanooga, Nashville, Birmingham, and Atlanta. Commissions for custom sinks and other imaginative pieces followed.

Examples of my art and creative technique were published in Creating with Concrete and Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden both by Sherry Warner Hunter. Tennessee Public Television featured a segment of my work on Tennessee Crossroads. One of my favorite concrete western boot-stitched barbed wire handled purses was included in the 2008 Art Quest Exhibit at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, TN.

My current body of work is all about shoes and eggs!
