Several years ago Ms. Blanchard scaled back her career as corporate writer and trainer to devote herself full time to art. Ms. Blanchard has published two novels, two books of poetry and dozens of articles and stories under her name and several noms des plume. As Director of Communications and Instructor Development for Better Communications, the leading corporate writing/training company in the US, she presented workshops throughout the US, Bermuda and Canada. She was included in Who's Who in Global Business Leaders 1996.

 

Ms. Blanchard has studied with more than a dozen artists, most notably with Michael Dowling at the Danforth Museum School Framingham, MA, and Tatiana McKinney at the Venice Art Center, Venice, FL. She has traveled widely and visited museums and galleries throughout the United States and Europe, a traveling classroom.
 

Aline has been working in clay since 1998. She was initially attracted to a workshop entitled "The Tile As Art"  with Tracy Grauel. Since then she has taken numerous workshops. Her most influential teachers are Korean master potter of Sarasota, Ki Woon Huh, and Walter Yovaish of the Venice Art Center.
