Local to Bellingham, I was born and raised in Whatcom county and after lots of life shenanigans I found myself back here again, raising my own family. I have long been a maker of things but I began my journey with ceramics in 2020. I am a community and self-taught ceramicist that focuses on hand thrown, functional pottery with an emphasis on surface design. I typically throw my forms on a pottery wheel and then finish them with hand painting, carving, and inlay. My work conveys imagery of nature in my own backyard through the lens of my imagination. I have been known to carve the poppies with eyeballs, paint smoking frogs and render rabbits with more expression than nature bestows them.
