Handcrafted Ceramics, Rooted in Story

Objects shaped by process, design, and inherited memory

I create contemporary ceramic work that bridges craft and design. Each piece is informed by my life as a woman in the Great Plains, drawing on textiles, architecture, and the landscape around me. My work explores how pattern, repetition, and material carry memory across generations. These collections balance function and beauty, offering objects that enrich daily life while holding space for reflection and connection.
