As an artist, art teacher and now art therapist, I believe in the power of art making.
It is a source of strength, truth, and courage in my life. Of all the arts, ceramics is closest to my heart. The process is so important; I am always learning, growing. Ceramics keeps me humble and grounded. It has taken me across the world and I have met the most amazing people in the process.
To all of you who have shared your love of clay with me, thank you. To those who have one of my pieces in your home, thank you.
Located in downtown Oak Park’s Pleasant District, Anfora Wine Merchants is an Italian-centric boutique wine shop and education center. Our store is like a living winelist. We focus on small and/or iconic producers who place high importance on low-to-no intervention and ecological winemaking practices.
Inspired by the enotecas found throughout Italy, Anfora Wine Merchants complements its retail services with a dynamic by-the-glass program where patrons can sit, relax, and enjoy a glass of wine accompanied by light snacks.
We host monthly wine classes for those curious about Italian native grapes, regions, and wine-making styles. To create community around a shared love and curiosity of Italian wines, Anfora offers a yearly membership program where members receive discounts every time they shop and exclusive benefits.
We cannot wait to welcome you.
