I was born and grew up in a small town in the Mississippi Delta. Throughout my life, I have always found the greatest solace as a maker and have produced objects in a variety of media. Around the year 2000, I discovered ceramics and committed myself to working exclusively in clay. In 2015, I “quit my day job” and began a new career as a full-time studio ceramist. I’ve had the honor of being selected to four prestigious art residencies in the US and abroad and have been a visiting artist at UGA.
