Clay play

As a kid, I was always messy, covered in mud, and completely obsessed with the idea of throwing clay (that pottery scene from It Takes Two was my absolute dream).

When I finally started working with clay at 15, I was terrible. But I was also determined. I begged my grandparents to sign me up for summer classes at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, and in a beautiful full-circle moment, I’ve now been teaching there for over a decade.

That determination sparked a lifelong passion. I pushed my skills far enough to enter my high school’s IB Ceramics program. When my college didn't consider ceramics a "fine art," I started a ceramics club so I could keep making. When I graduated and moved to Nashville, I taught yoga in exchange for wheel time. I simply needed to keep creating.

Burning Out & Falling Back in Love

When I eventually moved back to Richmond, I hustled hard, taught all over town, and sold my work until I burnt out. For a while, the spark was gone, and I didn’t want to make anything at all.

Over the last few years, I’ve been consciously reconnecting, slowing down, and falling back in love with my creative process. My evolution with ceramics has changed so much over the years. I’ve loved it, I’ve burnt out from it, and every time I fall off, I come back to this medium. At its heart, clay remains my place of refuge, grounding, and play.

Ritualize the Everyday

Lately, my artistic focus has been on creating pieces that ritualize the everyday—inviting intention, curiosity, and comfort into the ordinary moments of life. Whether it’s a mug you hold during your morning reflection or a sculptural piece on your shelf, I want my art to ground you.

My current passion project is a series of "wonky women" that embody spirit in the natural world. There is so much unfolding in the studio right now, and I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

🧿 The Evil Eye Collection

As part of my journey into ritual and protection, I’ve been channeling a lot of energy into my Evil Eye series. These handmade talisman pieces are created to bring good vibe shielding, history, and a watchful, artistic grace into your sacred spaces.
