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.
