I’m a new-to-the-area artist who is enjoying settling into the rhythm of Pittsburgh. Originally from Oregon, I studied Studio Art and French at Calvin College in Michigan before relocating to this part of the country. I’ve taught classes at Heartside Ministry and Hope Reformed Church, both in Grand Rapids, MI and am currently a member of the Union Project ceramics co-op in Pittsburgh.
My work spans a variety of styles, but hand building is my preferred mode of construction. You’ll notice in my work that I love the organic, asymmetrical, thin, and delicate and that my pieces often have a sculptural tendency. Please enjoy my pieces by holding them as well as by looking – I’m a firm believer in the tactile experience. Since I make these pieces with my hands, it takes YOUR hands to full enjoy them.
