I am a studio potter, living and working In oakland california. I make small batch, wheel thrown and hand built functional and decorative ceramics. my goals are these: to create something beautiful and useful, and to bring something special to everyday life. I keep these goals in mind through each of the many stages of making functional and decorative pottery.

My pottery is influenced by the world of culture and the world of nature. i like to think my current work reflects the changes we encounter within and around us, subtle and strong pushes and pulls to be better, despite our shortcomings or imperfections.
