For thirty years Barbara lived and worked along the New England seacoast.  Her work was influenced by and, in turn, reflected that natural coastal beauty.  Now in a new studio in Galisteo, She embarks on a whole new adventure in clay while immersed in another spectacular landscape. 

Barbara works with high fire porcelain and stoneware clays.  The limited edition and one-of-a-kind functional ware is fired in a gas reduction atmosphere which encourages development of earth tones and subtle color variations in her glazes. 

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin in Art Education, and Massachusetts College of Art with a Masters degree, Barbara taught art for twenty years.   For thirty years, with another potter friend, she operated Ocmulgee Pottery--a studio, school, and fine crafts gallery in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Barbara’s work  has been exhibited in craft galleries and museums, and is extensively represented in private collections.
