Growing up, I spent my time reading about mythical creatures and wandering in the woods, convinced that if I looked closely enough, something magical would reveal itself. I’m still chasing that sense of childhood wonder—the feeling that magic is possible if you only slow down and pay attention. 

My practice stands on two legs: one sculptural, the other functional. My sculptural work is rooted in the body and is self-referential, drawing on my dance background and imagery from Ovid’s Metamorphoses to explore feminine strength and transformation. My functional work centers on process, movement, and the relationship between object and body. These practices inform each other; while my sculptures take the form of dancers, wheel throwing has become my own rhythmic dance practice. I am drawn toward rounder vessels that invite the body to soften and curl inward, echoing the movements of my sculptures. The surfaces of my pots often originate as playful experimentation in my sculptures. 

I wood fire these pieces to experience the magic of chance and community. Clay brings wonder into my life and into everyday moments, showing up in sculptures bringing stories to life, teapots sprouting feathers and toes, and friends feeding a fire together under the stars.
