I have been a potter since 2002.
I create one of a kind pieces using stoneware clay, fire in an electric kiln, and occasionally raku and pit fire.
My main focus is on functional pieces which are meant to be used every day.
When I have extra time, I may come up with playful sculptural pieces or detailed art pieces.
My inspiration comes from my background in textiles and needlework, gardening, traveling, and exploring the outdoors.
I will often create pieces using found objects to create texture.
My incised pieces include flowers that mimic the lazy daisy stitch of embroidery, representations of coral reefs, and snapshots of architectural details.
I offer private instruction at my home studio.
It is a pure joy to share my love of clay.
