Get to know me.

I’m a Michigan State University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree. More importantly, I was a free range kid that grew up watching my dad work in his pottery studio and ultimately having the freedom to work with clay since I was first toddling around. With my work, I want to create a favorite piece that you reach for time & time again. I want to hold a space in your routine and create a personal connection that can’t be replicated by an object that is factory made. I believe the joy in using a handmade object is discovering little surprises that may have happened purposely from the artist’s touch or the unpredicted changes from the kiln firing process. The practice of making is where I feel the magic; the act of being in the studio and committing your time with a piece from start to finish creates a deep appreciation for a finished product. I hope others can feel the sense of care I take when interacting with my work.
