In my ceramics work, I search for a balance between wildness and refinement. Using ingredients like wild wood ash, my work is inspired by the natural world and meant to be used. The finished product invites connection – between maker, user, and the ingredients and nature that inspired it. I strive for a perfect blend of beauty and function, bringing art off the walls and into our hands. My work is art that brings moments of joy into otherwise mundane parts of life.
