I am a ceramics artist who works in mainly functional ware and sculptural vessels. My work reflects my passion and love of nature, I often use materials from the earth such as seashells, rocks, sand and textured bark to add depth and personal connection to my pieces.

I started my clay education in high school, fortunately, I learned from three art teachers in my public school who all contributed to my passion for creating. Encouraged by their kindness, I earned my BFA at Colby-Sawyer College in New London New Hampshire, and studied under David Ernster and Jon Keenan, both master potters of New England. During that time, I also collaborated with the New Hampshire Institute of Art and the Sharon Art Center through community firings, pottery sales, and events. In the winter of 2016, I spent a week in Nepal teaching pottery to students at the Maya Universe Academy.

After graduation in 2017, I spent six years teaching in various public school settings as an art teacher. I worked with students of all ages and backgrounds. Teaching is an important part of my artistic practice. I use that time to inform my personal work but more importantly, developing relationships with others through art creates lasting connections and spreads compassion.

I have dedicated the last four years to developing a thriving ceramics program at Kimball Jenkins School of Art and Community Center. It has grown tremendously under my care and I am proud to say we host over 50 pottery students and 12 independent artists each season.

Most recently, I have taken over as Chair of the New Hampshire Potters Guild. Within this role, I aim to build community through ceramics and offer educational experiences to those excited to learn more about the pottery scene in New Hampshire.
