My story
I have never known life without art, the mediums always changed but I always loved to create. The first time I worked with clay was when I was eight. When I started college I took a ceramics class and fell in love with clay all over again. That is when I decided that this was an art I never wanted to stop.
I am a senior Visual Arts major and Entrepreneurship minor at Lander University and I am taking the step so that one day my life can be totally dedicated to my arts. I focus in ceramics but I also love photography and am available for hire, you can check out more about that under the HS photography drop down.

Made with care
I love creating functional pottery that is a piece of art you can use in your everyday life.
I create pieces that are all unique, I love creating new shapes and color combinations. I make occasional sets but I really like for my pieces to not be match matchy.
