a handmade ceramic fruit bowl received as a wedding gift 26 years ago began my early obsession with pottery. i have learned from some remarkable potters and ceramic artists through workshops, classes and apprenticeships to whom i'm grateful. i'm drawn to making tableware because of the possibility of integrating grace, beauty and conscious appreciation into the everyday. through simple, elegant design i strive to transform the ubiquitous houseware into a useful, yet compelling home essential.
