After years of set decorating for film & television, photographing spaces, creating things that didn’t last or that you couldn’t hold in your hands, I turned entirely to my obsession with clay. I began to focus on the permanence of things and why we gravitate to certain objects more than others. There’s a reason that you always go for that certain mug in your cupboard or why that particular vase sticks around even after all the rounds of decluttering. The permanence of pottery is fascinating- a ceramic piece could survive centuries, if not millennia, yet it can break in an instant, it’s permanence is lost.

I love thinking about the life my creations live beyond me, the relationships people have with them and the attachments that may or not be formed. I make pottery for every day use, for hands to touch and interact with.

I am based out of central Vermont, where I split my days between making, running a community pottery studio and raising my two sons with my partner, Andrew.
