is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at
the University of Colorado at Boulder. In her work, she creates
objects which are seemingly familiar, but displays them in a manner
which abstracts the work and formally and promotes ideas about gender, the structure of language and communication, the history of objects made for specific use, and autobiographical narrative. Her work is included in the books The Artful Teapot, by Garth Clark; Postmodern Ceramics, by Mark Del Vecchio; Sex Pots, by Paul Matthieu; and A Ceramic Continuum: Fifty Years of the Archie Bray Influence, by Peter Held.

She received her undergraduate degree cum laude in art history from Oberlin College; she received her M.F.A. in ceramics from the University of Washington. Exhibitions include Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, Skulpturens Hus, Stockholm; Ceramic Center Berlin, Germany; Foster/White Gallery, Seattle; Robischon Gallery, Denver; Grimmerhus Museum, Denmark; and Formargruppen Gallery, Sweden; her work was also included in the 2001 NCECA Ceramic National. She has been a resident artist at the MacDowell Colony, the Kahla Porcelain Factory in Germany, the International Ceramic Center in Denmark, the Ceramic Center Berlin, and the Archie Bray Foundation in Montana.
