I was drawn to ceramics after joining in picnics and dinners with friends who would bring handmade pots to gatherings, using cups for wine and small bowls perfect for dips and sides. I loved that the pieces were practical, functional, and beautiful, never sacrificing one aspect in favor of the others.

I choose the pieces in my home very intentionally; the choices I make as a consumer affect the feeling in my space. A tiny vase or cup impacts my day, bringing a moment of joy - whether because it was made or gifted by a friend, or by another maker at a market. I hope to impart some of that joy and care I’ve received from these favorite pieces of mine over the years when creating work of my own.
