Bettina's ceramics journey began about 8 years ago.
"I found myself needing a creative outlet as I was parenting and working all day, every day. As soon as I sat down at the potters wheel, I was hooked."
After many years of working in healthcare, leading non-for-profits, conducting research, and raising a family, I found myself wanting a creative outlet in my life.
Process
The moment I sat at the potters' wheel, I was hooked. Immediately attracted to the difficulty of the craft, its subtlety and nuance, I realized that it would take a lifetime to master. Years later, I still push myself to play well outside of my comfort zone.
Inspiration
I often find inspiration in travel and nature, my work embraces tradition as well as organic shape, color, and texture. For example, some of my most recent works are inspired by travels to Mexico.
