Clay is my way of exploring connection—between people, nature, and everyday ritual. I create functional pottery that is both playful and practical, accented with carving, sgraffito, or sculptural details that celebrate animals, plants, and magical motifs. Working with mid-fire clay on the wheel brings me joy, calm, and grounding, while hand-building allows me to experiment and expand forms. My work is rooted in beauty and storytelling, inviting the user to pause, reflect, and find delight in daily life. Teaching is also central to my practice; I share pottery with youth and adults, fostering creativity, resilience, and community through clay.
