My Clay journey started in 2013 in a small-town high school ceramics class, and I haven’t stopped since. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in ceramics from Colorado Mesa University. I then spent several years taking classes at, volunteering for, and even substituting for classes at The Art Center of Western Colorado. I love the versatility of clay and the wonder of transforming something that initially just looks like mud into a work of art.

In my ceramics I’m interested in the ways that line work and carving can interact with one another on a surface and the ways that simple shapes can create complex looking designs. I tend to keep my color palette to just a few colors to let the design speak for itself. Creating my concentric circle designs is almost a meditative practice and I enjoy watching the design evolve on its own as I draw it. I also enjoy altering forms and carving. I prefer to make my designs on utilitarian works like cups and bowls because I love the idea of art that you’re encouraged to touch and explore. Something that can be a part of a daily ritual such as drinking some coffee or tea.

I’m a strong believer that there’s always more to learn and I hope I can continue exploring all that the medium of clay has to offer.
