My love for working with clay started when I was 14 years old. My high school had a pottery studio and offered ceramics. I started with hand building but what I really had my mind set on was mastering wheel throwing. This love and passion I found for ceramics as a teenager has carried with me throughout my life. Pottery has become my lifeline; it's my ultimate creative and therapeutic outlet.
The art of throwing on the wheel has been a skill I have continued to build upon. Constantly evolving and improving my techniques throughout the years with perseverance and determination. Now in my 40s, I have arrived at a jumping-off point where I can make functional pottery that I feel honored and proud to sell. As a clay artist, I continue to dream bigger with what I create and what I put out into the world.
When my hands aren’t covered in clay you can find me cheering on my 6-year-old son on the baseball or soccer fields or driving my 10-year-old son to play practice.
I look forward to sharing my work with you!
