I am a ceramic artist living and working in Lake Lure, North Carolina. My sculptural pieces are hand-built using a low-fire earthenware clay body. I often employ a combination of matte terra sigillata, glazes, and metallic lusters in my surface design.

My sculptures celebrate the natural world and the inescapable connection of everything contained within it. I have an unending list of ideas that I call upon to explore through my sculpture. Though these ideas can present anywhere from mysterious to strangely whimsical, the one commonality I strive for relates to the interconnectedness and interdependence of life in our world. I am deeply inspired by the thought that we all share the very same material and, as humans, we can use these connections to symbolize our innermost thoughts.
