I spent my first 20 years as a professional artist working in clay, beginning to sell my work regionally in 1984. In 1995 I earned my BFA at Southern Illinois University and in 1997 my MFA at Washington University in St. Louis.

Beaumont Studios was incorporated in 1999 and was located on the corner of Beaumont and Locust Streets in St. Louis, Missouri. After retiring in 2020 from a 20-year career as Executive Director at St. Louis ArtWorks I looked for a new location to resume my practice as a practicing artist.

Beaumont Studios in the City Museum was opened in downtown St. Louis in 2021.
