The Work

I create handcrafted functional vessels, sculptures, and wall hangings inspired by the natural world. My practice is rooted in slow, intentional making. Working with clay provides me with a connection to the earth and my inner self, serving as a form of moving meditation.

Before working in clay, I was a painter. That background still influences how I approach my work- through form, movement, and emotional tone. I am particularly drawn to organic forms that reflect the softness and movement inherent in nature. I’m drawn to shapes that feel fluid and alive. Creating art is a spiritual practice for me - it connects my rich inner world with the beauty of nature around me.

Through my work, I hope to offer that same connection to others - a sense of closeness to nature and the quiet beauty that lives in handmade things.
