Studio Description: My life as a ceramic artist reflects my formal training as a textile designer. My work is often inspired by fashion; from clothing to accessories. I create clay vessels that might seem “wearable”, which I hope will appeal to people who can see beyond the usual.

While I explore the pottery traditions of North Carolina, I am also looking for ways to create vessels that fool the eye. With the “faux” look of woven baskets or the metallic look of a zipper or buckle, I hope to entice the viewer to come take a closer look. Perhaps tempt them to touch my pottery to make sure it is all made out of clay.
