about

I'm a small-batch potter based in Newport, Oregon. I’ve been working with clay for 25 years. My focus is functional tableware made on a wheel.

The wheel has always been a place to relax, reflect, ground. I'm inspired by nature’s colors and textures, both at home on the coast and internationally.

I use locally-sourced clay and like to spotlight its texture and color by preserving raw material alongside contrasting glossy and matte glazes.

Function and ergonomics are a big deal to me. I make items to be used every day, and consider myself more maker than artist.

I feel incredibly lucky to work with clay full-time, and I’m thrilled to be able to teach and share pottery with others.
