I grew up in ontario, NY and graduated from Wayne Central High School in 1997. From there I went on to attend Nazareth college and graduated with a BA in Sociology in 2001. Though I have been creating pieces for many years, it was in college that I began to find my niche. I mostly work with recycled materials and salvaged items, and enjoy creating one of a kind decorative items from the "unexpected". I also occasionally paint on canvas and enjoy decorative painting on furniture. When it comes to working with salvaged items, my specialty is creating unique tables from various materials including windows, which is what I am doing with my window for this project. Most of my work is done on commission, but I often have a few goodies for sale at Mostly Clay in Pittsford. I work out of a studio in my home in East Rochester, where I live with my husband Matt and our turtle Speedy.
