My Process

I make one of a kind wheel thrown and altered functional pottery for every day use. My pots are primarily wood or salt fired in various kilns throughout Pennsylvania, and I use several different clays to complement each kiln’s unique characteristics.

My Inspiration

I am inspired by the beauty of nature, especially fire, wood, and snow. I am equally inspired by everyday objects and replicating them in clay so that people can use them. I am also inspired by problem solving and making pots that in some way make life easier or more enjoyable for the user.

Fun Facts

Sometimes I close my eyes when I throw pots on the potter’s wheel.
