I make wheel-thrown pottery with the emphasis on functionality, the tactile experience, and the intention of contemplation. These unique vessels made by my hands should feel right in yours – objects to enjoy while pondering life, the universe & everything. I take my aesthetic inspiration from organic natural patterns, the rustic beauty in decay, and the joie de vivre of serendipity. I explore movement and texture through swirling spirals and carved surfaces to invite frequent use and ongoing discovery. My work is heavily influenced by a bittersweet nostalgia, a sensitivity to ephemera, and an appreciation towards unobtrusive beauty.
