About the Teapot
My work always has a story, a personal narrative, relying on memory and personal experiences as my subject matter. I draw images intuitively and spontaneously to capture the directness and freshness of my stories. My drawings are loose, whimsical, and colorful, capturing the joy, energy, and playfulness in my work.

Artist Statement
I am driven by curiosity and love to push the clay limit, exploring different ways to tell my story through both form and surface. Teaching pottery to individuals with special needs has taught me to simplify, laugh, and a “just do it” approach.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
