For as long as humans have been creating useful things from clay, we have been embellishing and "en-spiriting" these objects as a form of communication. These non-literal messages speak to us on an emotional level. More simply said, beauty moves us.

My mother found her passion for potting when I was young. Thanks to her, from an early age I lived with pots handmade by many different potters. As a young adult there was nothing I wanted to do more than follow along the same path, and so I did.

Constant innovation keeps what I do from becoming repetitive, even when I am repeating forms. This liveliness comes through the clay, and finds its way into homes where it enhances the daily rituals of the people that use my pottery.

This highfired, durable pottery is safe for use in microwave and dishwasher, as well as oven, provided your piece is allowed to pre-heat with the oven.
