Acknowledgements

I’d like to thank the following people for helping me develop my work:

Justin, my husband, for this wonderfully designed website and all his support, patience, love and encouragement.

Lena Lonnberg-Hickling for all her guidance, help and friendship. Her beautifully colorful ceramics were my inspiration to work with clay.

The staff, volunteers and students of Kirkland Arts Center, for making it a very special place to work. Pat Colyar and Carol Gouthro for sharing their amazing knowledge and skills.

My very special Siamese Cat Harry who is a wonderful companion and is happy to sleep the hours away while I paint my designs. He also keeps me from becoming too precious about my pieces by occasionally breaking a few while he explores my work room. When will I learn not to leave him unsupervised!!

Our wonderful family in England, who have always been there to offer us lots of encouragement and support.
