With the support of these awards she has studied the high desert in New Mexico, working in the Santa Fe Clay studios; explored a variety of porcelain clay bodies; and most recently, with an award in 2017, she participated in a residency at the Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China. She has been a contributing writer to Studio Potter, Ceramics Monthly, Pottery Making Illustrated, and the American Craft Council blog. Her work has been represented in galleries and exhibitions across the country, including Pewabic Pottery in Detroit, Lillstreet Gallery in Chicago, and Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
