I have worked with polymer clay for 13 years. My experience with polymer clay includes teaching on the national level, exhibiting my art in international juried competitions and publishing my projects in numerous periodicals and books. I hold a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Art Education. I've also served as President of the National Polymer Clay Guild and the Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild. I am pleased to announce I was recently selected, received training and was awarded a Regional Trainer Certification for the Studio Home Dimensions program by Donna Dewberry.
