my practice is informed by a balance of work in luxury spas and therapeutic environments (kanani pearl and ohsu in portland, shibui spa at five pine in sisters). therapeutic relaxation is my preferred style and approach. my work is inspired by my training in hawaiian mana lomi which is a specialized, deeply effective and relaxing form of flow and focus.

i have gravitated to making three dimensional art since i was a little girl. i graduated from scripps college with a studio art degree and worked as a professional commercial sculptor. most recently i have rediscovered my love of working with clay through creating ceramics. my pieces are available locally by request, during fundraising events, at pennington farms and fry family farm store.

i love to focus my energy, care, creativity and thoughtful design through hosting. this restful spa retreat is the result of eight years of hosting experience combined with a sensibility of serenity and elevated hospitality. my historic home and supportive community in jacksonville inspire me to host benefit events for local causes.
