About Swampgirl Pottery

I was born in a small sleepy Louisiana town where I started making art at the age of 5. Immediately upon college graduation, I moved to France, where I spent 4 amazing years. Leaving France was only made tolerable by the creative energy I discovered in Manhattan, where I lived the last 30+ years. In NYC I was the owner of a photography agency. My stable of artists specialized in food photography. I soon discovered the food photography industry was in need of unique beautiful vessels for food to be photographed in. This is how I started making pottery. My work is in the collections of all the major NYC prop houses, and it is carried by the deYoung museum in San Francisco and the Mingei museum in San Diego, as well as numerous Michelin starred restaurants.
