My work explores organic forms and the architectural details of the vessel. The hues and textures I experience in the natural world are evident in the surface, created from atmospheric firing in wood kilns and soda firing. I am interested in the shared moments handmade pots create through daily use and in communal wood firings, shared meals, and daily rituals of coffee and tea. All work is fired to 2400 degrees and is very durable and food safe.

I was born in Louisville, KY, did graduate studies in West Virginia and China, and now reside in Flagstaff, AZ. I make pots from my home studio and teach ceramics, design, and drawing at Northern Arizona University. Studio visits are welcomed by appointment. Message or email me to schedule.

When I'm not making pots, building kilns, or renovating the house, I enjoy hiking with my two dogs, mountain biking, whitewater boating, organic gardening, and vegetarian cooking (and eating!). Basically, actively engaging in the natural world I am surrounded by.
