Hello there …

I'm a ceramic artist working in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My studio is a small batch pottery where I focus on hand crafting one of a kind functional ceramics.

I found my love for pottery after working in graphic design and architectural rendering. While working in this digital world for years a desire grew to 'get my hands dirty'. I wanted to learn color fundamentals so I started taking painting classes. This led me to other fine arts classes; drawing, printmaking, figure drawing, block printing, woodworking, and watercolor.

I started taking pottery classes in 2018, in a small Seattle studio run by Barbara Dunshee. When Covid hit she closed her studio but kindly offered students pottery wheels to take home. I jumped on the opportunity and in my garage a burgeoning affection for ceramics skyrocketed. A year later I stumbled upon a friend who had a perfectly sized electric kiln that she was selling. All of this felt like collective kismet and I started my small studio.

So there you have it. I still have a mostly full-time job and squeeze in pottery time anywhere I can. Of all the artistic mediums I have tried I am the most smitten by ceramics. It is dirty, physically taxing, frequently frustrating, toxic if you’re not careful, fragile, and vexing in a thousand little ways … and I totally love it.

Cheers!
