I make objects to be touched and lived. I want to influence the spaces people experience on a daily basis.
The intimacy of objects is a critical component of my work. Rather than an artwork that can exist in a white box, these are social creatures that are meant to contain the mundane and sacred things we surround ourselves with. Will they hold flowers from your garden, the ashes of a loved one, or the sugar for your morning coffee? 🌀🤍

My contemporary ceramic work is wheel-thrown with sculptural elements, often made in multiple parts. Surfaces are architectural in nature with burnished porcelain and oxides rather than traditional glazes.
