ARTIST STATEMENT

I took classes at the Clay Art Center with Georgia Tenore for some years while my children were young. During those years I was never able to be as dedicated to ceramics as I wished. Now that I have more time I am free to put more focus and dedication into my craft. I have a home studio where I have been a working photographer for a while, and decided to pivot into ceramics.

A portion of the proceeds of the sales of my work will be donated to Youth Scholarship funds at Clay Art Center in memory of my sister Michelle Abadir. We took classes together at Clay Art Center, and she became a vital part of the community there both as a student, and a professional dermatologist.
