    In addition to selling on Etsy, I've done at least one market a month for years.

    The final step of the process. Each item is washed and checked for any imperfections. Only the best go on to Etsy!

    • About

    • Most of my work is created on the wheel.
    • From the wheel, then trimmed, altered, dried, fired once, and the bottoms waxed, now ready for glaze.
    • I do a combination of dipping and painting glazes to get the final product.
    • Loaded in the kiln for the second fire to finish the glazing process.
    • It all starts with weighing and wedging the clay.

    With Quiet Purpose

    I will never be able to keep myself from dabbling in various art media. I enjoy the process of learning and I relish exploring something new. My art studio is a testament to this, with tubs of various tools neatly stacked.

    Truly it was the birth of my son that made me focus my artistic efforts and find a groove. All the weighty and noble art criticism wafted away. It was time to simply get to work. My desire honed in to ceramics, then simple forms, then smooth and simple forms, but yet, a smooth and simple form with an quiet purpose. My desire is to create works of art that will be a part of your daily life. I want the work to have a conversation with you every day. I want that daily interaction to grow into a lifelong relationship. I want you to hear the sweet whisper of “I made this just for you” each time upon use.

    My favorite way to sell pottery is to place the work directly in the hands of the future owner. I want that moment of connection, with the work becoming the midpoint.

    Once before I would have stated that my influences are wide and vast. But now, simple line, simple curve, quiet purpose. I desire to refine my works down to the simplest form and use this surface for calming glaze work. Life is busy; let's make this simple. Let's remember connection. Let's refine ourselves.
