Artist Statement

I make brightly colored pots with a lightness of form, friendly and inviting - objects that bring a playful energy to any domestic setting. My material of choice is porcelain. It's a sensitive material and a joy to use.
I strive to create work that invites curiosity and contemplation through unexpected decorative connections that are revealed when the pots are being touched, turned, used.

My work is made for domestic spaces as I believe that art can be experienced through interaction with daily objects. My goal is for this experience to bring happiness, positivity, and respite.

I seek a balance between a minimal elegance in form and a liveliness of line in my illustrated surfaces. I use multiple decorative techniques but am most compelled by the process of inlaying color to create my designs. I'm inspired by turn-of-the-20th century art and observation of the natural world.
