As an artist and a pottery instructor, my work and classes are an expression of my own path towards treating myself and others with gentleness and patience as we create, play and learn.  I make pottery to be held and used every day. For me, the practice of pottery is about the feel of the clay in my hands and allowing my mind and body to slow down. With each piece I pass on that sensory connection in its shape, balance and smoothness to touch. 
 
I create in small series, with a whimsical curiosity to experiment and play with soft curves, carved designs and glazes.

The graceful texture and fluency of porcelain provide the basis of my studio work. My forms are inspired by natural objects while floral textile designs. Nature plays a large role in my inspiration for both the design and decoration in my pottery. I have been working with clay for around 7 years and I am still enjoying the process.
