Latest update for some pages of this website: June 19, 2024.

I am now living in Oregon (since March, 2022). I no longer teach china painting. I do a little watercolor and still plan to do some china painting. But, at present, I no longer have my larger kilns; only a small Paragon jewelry kiln.

I have been china painting since the late 1970's. If you are a new visitor to this web site, I welcome you.  If you are a china painter, (or not) I hope you will find something of interest to you on some of these pages.  I am a china painter, formerly a china painting teacher on the Big Island of Hawaii. In March, 2022, I moved to Oregon. I am also a watercolor artist.

I've tried to include a wide variety of pictures and information that I think would be of particular interest to other china painters and artists.

Thank you for visiting my web site.

PORCELAIN PAINTERS INTERNATIONAL ONLINE (PPIO)

Marci Blattenberger and I founded the Porcelain Painters International Online (PPIO) organization and web site (https://www.ppio.com) in May, 1998. I urge you to visit the site of this online organization often to see what is offered. I stepped down from administration of the organization many years ago. Marci continues to maintain both the website and the organization. She also maintains a forum for china painters.
