Ceramics




I am a colored porcelain artist creating unique jewelry, functional pottery, wall tiles and decor items for your home and garden. My work begins when time spent in nature touches me so profoundly that I feel compelled to preserve the moment in clay.
Building patterns in colored porcelain, I manipulate layer upon layer to create depth and contrast, humbly attempting to convey Mother Earth’s magnificence while honoring the ancient making traditions of Nerikomi, Neriagi and Mokume Gane. The patterns that develop within the clay as I work become the medium used to create my beads, tiles, functional pots and ceramic decor items. Every item is one of a kind, and all of the color is in the clay itself - nothing is painted. Each design I create is an invitation for you to join me in one of nature's magical places and experience the tranquility, vitality and healing powers of Mother Earth.
This year, I will also offer a collection of new horsehair raku fired pots combining colored clay that I’m excited to share, and a new twist on my popular colored porcelain birdhouse designs.
The studio tour is my favorite show because I love meeting new people, talking to clay enthusiasts, sharing the inspiration behind my work, and answering your questions about my processes. I’ll be hosting several fabulous ceramic artists this year as well … come out to see all the ways we potters reimagine clay!
