I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember.

​

As a child, I was certain I would be an artist. I sold my first painting in third grade and spent most of my time drawing, building, and imagining.

 

Over time, my work expanded into other areas, but the instinct to create never left. It evolved into something more personal. Slightly unexpected. A little whimsical.

 

Today, I work primarily in ceramics and mixed media.

 

My pieces often begin with traditional forms, then move toward something more expressive. The characters emerged naturally. Slightly exaggerated, imperfect, and full of personality, they reflect the people and moments that tend to stay with us.

​

Each piece is handmade and one of a kind, shaped as much by intuition as by process.
