About Me

I love how ceramics is an art form that is directly connected to the earth, and movement. I grew up dancing and have found that being able to make art that is not only 3D but is kinesthetic in its creation process deeply satisfies my need to move . When I have the chance to wood fire some of my work, nothing speaks louder to my soul than the roaring flames from the kiln and the community dependent process.

I am a ceramicist and art educator. I teach high school art and absolutely love being around so much energy, excitement and willingness to explore new learning.

My husband and I regularly go out on road trips heading east from our Portland home. He stops to take photos of neon and I stop to take photos of color, texture and patterns for my ceramics. I grew up always being outside and I can't help but make work that reminds me of the spaces I spent the most time in.

Below are some of my favorite color stories and spaces I've gotten to see on our travels.
