I combine thrown and slab-built forms to get at shapes that feel structural and organic at the same time — things that look like they could have grown that way.

Surface is just as important to me as form: I work with a range of glazes and ceramic decals, and I'm drawn to the conversation between the two.

I'm currently based in Indianapolis, IN and have a studio at the Fountain Square Clay Center. Interested in a commission, a studio visit, or just want to say hello? I'm always happy to talk through ideas for custom pieces, from sculptural work to functional forms.
