My artistic practice is rooted in a deep appreciation for nature and personal expression. I strive to evoke a sense of connection and delight through my functional ceramics. My process often begins with a spark of external inspiration that I then eagerly chase down. Sometimes I sketch ideas in my notebook, but more often, I simply play with the clay and let something emerge as a collaboration. I find these playful moments yield the most successful results. I often choose handbuilding over wheel throwing to embrace the imperfections that highlight the beauty of handmade objects. I use a variety of surface treatments, guided by what each piece calls for, and currently fire my work in an electric kiln.
