My interest in pottery started at a young age. Though I didn't know it would become a life - long love, clay's immediate and tactile nature fascinates me every day.  The thousands of years of ceramic history that came before me are my inspiration, and I feel privileged to work in such an expressive and timeless material.

​

With tradition as my guide my work straddles the gap between beauty and function with the strong belief that they can be unified in the same piece. Aesthetics and usefulness are not contradictory, and it is the unification of the two that distinguishes a well used and loved heirloom piece. I consider myself part of a community of potters present and long past; exchanging ideas and cultures and sharing a common means of expression. 

​

In spirit with a craft that has changed little in centuries; I work with few tools, aside from the potters' wheel, wooden ribs, and my hands. I source as many of my materials as possible from nature and my environment, and process them myself. 

​

My pots are made to become features of everyday life. Their handmade character and function serve as the basis for an intimate relationship between the Earth as the material, myself as the potter, and the life of the user.
