I strive to create hand-made ceramic tableware that reflects my love for color and nature. The imagery embedded in each piece is reminiscent of beloved places and pastimes. Vast skies, quiet trout streams, and summer blossoms serve as endless inspiration. Working with clay and slips colored with mason stains has allowed me to utilize my painterly sensibility in a 3D medium. After applying multi-layered stencils cut from original drawings onto flat slabs, I construct the “printed” clay into mugs, pitchers, or plates.

I am an educator, plein air painter, illustrator, and ceramic artist. I graduated from RISD with a BFA in Illustration in 2010. I earned a Masters in Art Education from Boston University in 2017. I currently work from my home studio in St. Louis, Missouri.
