Artist Statement

I am an artisan that specializes in Ceramics and Glass Forming. My focus is to create a unique aesthetic experience within functional ware and house décor. I do this by highlighting and combining the qualities of both Glass and Clay. This body of work explores form, function, and technique to transform the ordinary into extra ordinary.
