Next Online Pottery Release: TBA
Join the Potters' Skin Butter Club here to stay in the loop about when I release new work!

I have been in the clay community since 2004 as the maker of Potters’ Skin Butter lotion, but I have just begun showing my own pottery!
I am excited to share it with you soon!
Upcoming Pottery Shows:

Artist Statement:
When I spend a lot of time at the wheel with my hands in clay, making pots, I feel inexplicably happy. I am smiling. I am more compassionate. I’m a better listener. I feel like myself. I stand taller and feel confident. I am full of gratitude for my friends, family, and the gifts in my life.
I intend for this joy, confidence, gratitude and compassion to come across in my work. I hope that you feel these qualities in your mind, body, and spirit when you hold my pottery and that it brings something special to your everyday life.
This summer, after a weeklong class with Master Potter Sarah Wells Rolland, I caught myself thinking, “I love this life!” I do love the way that working with clay centers and grounds me. Thank you for your interest in my work as I continue my pottery journey.
I am currently in the Independent Study and Mentorship Program at The Village Potters. I am focusing on high-fired stoneware and working on increasing the size and quality of my work. All of my pieces are made with non-toxic clay and glazes. They are meant for everyday use and are microwave and dishwasher safe.
I hope that my pots bring you joy!
