Working with my hands has always been important to me, and pottery became my way to reconnect with my creativity. I started taking pottery seriously over three years ago at The Clay School, learning through classes with Kim Allison and independent practice. Influenced by my background in mathematics, minimalist design, and a childhood surrounded by art, I'm drawn to geometric forms and the interplay of shape and color in both functional and sculptural pieces.
I balance careful planning with adaptability, often allowing unplanned deviations to guide new creative directions. My goal is work that achieves visual coherence and, when functional, reliable utility.
