Hey there! I'm a Chicago based artist who enjoys creating both functional & sculptural forms. What has always driven me .jpg)
towards ceramics is the directconnection it has to everyday life. I connect deeper with my work when I consider how I will
incorporate it into my home. The main directive in my work is blurring the line that separates sculptural and functional
forms. I mainly work with cone 6 reduction firings, but have dabbled in cone 10, raku, wood and pit firings. I have loved
ceramics since I first dipped my fingers in it in junior high & I was fortunate enough to have a family that pushed me to
pursue what I cared about . This gave me the courage to continue on my current path of improving my work and sharing it
with my community! I also very much enjoy teaching these skills both while I ran the ceramics department at the Beverly Arts
Center & currently, as I teach private lessons at a private studio. On this site you will find a variety of my work both for sale
as well as in my gallery. Along with the work shown, I also work on commission and enjoy working with individuals to create
something unique to them! If you are interested in anything in particular, feel free to contact me directly and we'll chat!
