About

 My mother is Mary. She died in 2011. She was, and still is, my most cherished creative partner. 

As a student at the University of Colorado I fell in love with painting and ceramics. Both offer ways for me to explore beauty in simplicity, function and the human experience. 

I strive to make objects that enhance the ordinary of everyday life and bring pleasure, beauty and presence.

Each piece is hand made and unique. I use a Korean technique called mishima to create images on my pieces. Each image is hand drawn onto the surface of the clay with a needle tool. After I am finished with the drawing, I will cover the piece with black slip. Once the slip is dry, I carefully wipe away the excess slip leaving behind the drawn image.

My hope is that I create work that brings beauty and delight into everyday function and experiences.
