and thank you for your interest in my work.

I am an artist living in the Catskill region of New York.

My introduction to ceramics began with the study of artifacts as a student of Anthropology. I was immediately drawn to the physical evidence and tangibility of these ancient objects. I loved how they inhabited the physical world of our lives through utility, while also functioning as metaphors for shifting meaning, means of connection, and measurements of time.

After over a decade of working with clay I still feel challenged and inspired by its complexities and endless possibilities.

Here you will find mostly my functional pots that I make out of a love of the physicality of working with clay and a gratefulness to work with a material with such a history of accessibility.
