​I grew up making artwork. Having an artist for a father can have that effect. In my college years I got both my bachelor's and master's in architecture which further enhanced my artistic abilities and added another layer of reasoning and functionality to my work. Through college I was also able to add other skills to my artistic repertoire, taking oil painting and glass blowing alongside my architecture classes. I continue to use many different mediums in my work, including: paper, watercolor, wood, photography, glass, wool (felt), dyes, oil paint, and metal. Using different mediums allows me to choose the best one for the project I'm working on.

My focus for the past 7 years has been on ceramics, both as a maker and a teacher. Teaching has opened the door to so many new relationships and a sense of community that inspired me to open my own studio.
