Originally from Chicago, I am a ceramic artist whose work explores the space between sculpture and function. My journey in ceramics began with strictly functional work; everything needed a purpose to exist. Recently, I have begun to question this notion. Why do objects need to be useful? What does this reflect upon myself?

This introspection led to my recent exhibition, titled “Elbow Room”. In this project, I created ceramic towers of inverted shapes. I sought to explore how varying orientation of the same shapes affects the viewer’s perception of the whole. It was an extremely transformative process creating this project, both for myself and for the clay.

My current practice includes both functional ware and one-of-a-kind sculptural works, each made by hand and informed by an ongoing exploration of how objects shape—and are shaped by—the spaces they occupy. My pieces are thoughtfully crafted to take up space, no matter their purpose.

Recently, I completed an intensive professionalization program in ceramics in Barcelona, studying with makers such as Corrie Bain, Juan Ortí, Miriam Seguí, Mariko Chiba, Laia Pla, and other leading artists and educators. This experience further developed my technical approach while refining the conceptual direction of my practice.

I currently work wherever my practice takes me, sharing new projects, exhibitions, and available work through this website. I welcome inquiries regarding commissions, collaborations, and acquisitions.
