Art has been part of my life as long as education has. I won a National Scholastic Arts Silver Key in college, studied history and visual culture at Temple University, and have been making things with my hands ever since. The studio is where I go to think differently and create.

I work across a range of low and high fire clay bodies, drawn to alternative firing techniques — soda, wood, and atmospheric firings.

My sculptural and conceptual work is in deep conversation with Neolithic goddess traditions and the scholarship of Marija Gimbutas.

Commissions and inquiries welcome.

My functional work is made to be used: bowls, cups, and vessels that belong on tables and in hands, that accumulate the quiet evidence of daily life.

Original pieces available by inquiry.

I paint in oil, watercolor, and pastel, and make prints across multiple media.

My practice is rooted in ceramics — wheel throwing, handbuilding, slab work, and sculpture — alongside painting, printmaking, and collage. The through line across all of it is the vessel: the ancient, insistent human form that carries water, grain, memory, and meaning. I’m deeply inspired by Marija Gimbutus, a Lithuanian archeologist and anthropologist.

I work across a range of low and high fire clay bodies and am drawn to alternative firing techniques — soda, wood, atmospheric — processes that ask me to bring my full craft and then release control to the fire. The marks left by flame and ash are not accidents. They are collaborations.

I live and work in Bellingham, Washington, where life is literally among the wild things AKA my two, tiny toddlers. Our life is whimsical, messy and beautiful all at once. You can often find me at community studios that offer alternative firing techniques throughout Whatcom County.

Currently, I collaborate with Burnish Clay Studio in Bellingham, WA and the Jansen in Lynden, WA. I’m grateful for art friends and inspiration.
