I create clay vessels that honor the wild nature of reality.

Reality is profoundly complicated, but it is also vastly, unpredictably, deeply beautiful. The simplest slivers of life are doors into the wild self — the experience beyond identity. The barred owl’s haunting call, the gentle curve of a tulip petal, the shadow of the forest’s edge as a summer thunderstorm builds in the distance. Every piece of pottery I create is a spell, a gentle reminder of those in-between moments that make life rich with wonder and mystery.
