Since then, she has been an art teacher; a children’s book illustrator; a poster, puppet, and stage designer; and finally, a sculptor. For the last 20 years, she has worked in her Virginia Beach studio, creating large (4-6 ft.), colorful ceramic birds, bugs and flowers that mirror the natural world with an abstract, fanciful twist.
