At the age of 16 I first used the pottery wheel. The learning experience was a love/hate relationship, in the end I fell in love with clay and the potter's wheel and have yet to step away. I have always known I wanted to work in the arts, this was my place. I studied at Montclair State University and earned my BFA in ceramics. Through out college I worked sculpturally.



Since then I have found an interest in the everyday art of utilitarian pieces. It is an everyday comfort or enjoyment. I feel like my food tastes better from a homemade dish or cup.



I wish to share this delight in a world so chaotic. As I sit and drink my coffee, the interior of the cup reveals itself, I feel the warm of the cup in my hand, the curves of the form fit just right. It become a moment of escape. A moment of relaxation or enjoyment.
