About

I make ceramics with painted imagery. I pull details from artwork, writing, and everyday life and translate them onto the surfaces of functional vessels. The sources come from different places and periods: medieval fresco, folk craft, poetry, walks around the neighborhood. What connects the details is how they relate to each other, and to me.

Some pieces are made to be together. A detail on one cup takes on a new meaning next to an image on another. I work with a limited palette and a shared symbolic language so that pieces from different collections can build larger narratives.

My work moves between figurative imagery and gestural brushwork, but both are given the same care and attention. The forms are wheel-thrown with clean lines and simple shapes, while surfaces are painted in a single session, with no ability to revise a mark once it is made. The fired glaze captures each movement and gesture.

Before ceramics, I spent a decade in cognitive science research, studying how people make meaning by finding relationships between things. I then applied that same thinking to the development of new spaces and products. Throughout it all, the same interest emerged: what happens when you put things side by side and pay attention.
