Artist Statement

    " I grew up in a small Hungarian village, living next door to a potter who let me play with clay. I promised him I will be a potter, but years later I became an actress having gotten my MFA in theater and drama in Budapest, Hungary. I forgot my promise and I thought I forgot clay too... I played dozens of roles on stage before I came to live in America, where I got married and had two children. It was in 1992 when I took my first pottery class, that brought me back to clay, and made me remember.

After studying ceramics for three years, I set up my studio in 1995 and since then I have been ACTING IN CLAY.
