Joining Form and Function
A wheel based potter making functional and aesthetic objects for the home and kitchen, I have been working with clay since early high school.
With the goal of bringing form and function together the create beautiful pottery that also serves a purpose, I hand craft every piece uniquely and work with a variety of materials to finish and decorate my pieces.
New pieces are always coming out of the studio, to stay up to date with the making process check out my instagram page.
A hands on artist from a young age, I grew up in Pennsylvania surrounded by the great outdoors and all its inspirations.
I currently hold two BFA’s in Ceramics and Illustration as well as minor focuses in design and art history. My work revolves mostly around things I see and experience as well as my passion for mother nature. The forms of 2D and 3D art come together in some cases, and in others diverge. My long standing love for the outdoors and for fly fishing are dominant themes that often find their way into my artworks. Nature is an abundant and endless source of inspiration which never fails to refill my creative reservoir.
Because I not only love to make ceramics but use them as well, my view on pottery is that of a practical user – a piece is that is interesting yet uncomfortable is unlikely to be used. Because of this I look to reach a perfect melting point between aesthetics and functionality.
