I was working on my Master of Fine Arts degree in 1990 and my "studio-mate" told me about her work as an archaeological illustrator for the Ban Chiang Project. It sounded interesting and I needed a job for the summer so I gave Joyce a call. Many years later I am still working for the Ban Chiang Project! My first assignment was illustrating the beautiful Ban Chiang pottery vessels. Through the years I have illustrated burials, site plans, and excavation sections. Although I have both enjoyed and learned much from these various types of illustration, my favorite projects were the "artist reconstructions" of Ban Chiang that appear throughout this website. Today I work part-time for the project and full-time for my sons, Ben and Nathaniel. One element of my part-time 
work is the Friends of Ban Chiang newsletter, UpDate
. I also prepare the computer graphics used in various publications
and presentations. At home I do free-lance work for other 
archaeologists and anthropologists---when my boys give me the time! The
Ban Chiang Project has been wonderful experience for using my talents in
a team-work environment and the flexibility it offers a full-time mom is
great.
