I started college with a graphic design major, but was ‘corrupted’ by ceramics. Throwing a stable job future aside, I changed my major and later graduated with a BFA in ceramics. I fell in love with the feel of the clay, the mess it made and the functional objects it produced.
	After graduating, I shared a studio with a group of artists in industrial part of Denver. During the late night hours, I grew to love decorating the pottery with different glaze colors and surface decoration as much as I did using the potter’s wheel to create them. I now create my pieces in my basement studio, which is nicer than it sounds, in Portland.
	My work is inspired by the simple things in nature. Bugs, butterflies and birds. I choose simple shapes focusing on craftsmanship, because each piece is made for everyday use.
