My pottery is inspired by observations of my daily travels. The information that inspire my designs can be something simple, like a bird on a tree branch, a patch of wheat blowing in the wind, or a beautiful sunset.

I put my heart and soul into each piece. My pieces are wheel-thrown, hand-built, or a combination of both. I enjoy making functional, decorative stoneware with beautiful textures and colorful glazes.

I have studied under well-known artists, such as Leon Nichols, Sandi Pierantozzi, Lana Wilson, Hayne Bayless, Julie Wiggins, Amy Sanders, Joy Tanner, Emily Reason...to name a few.

I have a great desire to keep learning and expanding my pottery horizon. With a dedicated work ethic and artistic aspirations, I know I can achieve greater heights.
