Artist Statement
I create elegant, bold, and functional wares that invite comfort and enjoyment. I want users to notice the quality, the weight in their hands, and the clarity of pattern. Glazing is central to my process. I explore contrast and texture, pairing smooth surfaces with small areas of exposed clay to create a tactile, intimate experience. Quiet spaces in each piece offer moments of visual rest. Inspired by family ties to textile design, I think about how pattern shapes our perception of form. I see my pots as having bodies, using subtle yet powerful patterns to emphasize their soft curves.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
