I've been working with clay for over 25 years, and I still get excited every time I open a kiln. There’s magic in turning a lump of earth into a piece that becomes part of someone’s daily life. My work is rooted in the natural textures and tones of the West Coast, often blending organic forms with clean, modern lines. I primarily work on the wheel, but I also love the freedom and playfulness of hand-building—especially when teaching. Over the years, I’ve taught hundreds of students through private lessons, group workshops, and community programs, and I find real fulfilment in helping others connect with clay for the first time (and fall in love with it). Pottery, for me, is both grounding and expressive—a balance of technique and spontaneity. Every piece tells a story, and no two are ever quite the same. That’s what keeps me coming back to the studio.
