about me, as a potter..

I started ceramics in 2014, with three little kiddos and a tiny pocket of time, one class, once a week at the JCCSF.  I enjoyed having a space to turn my mind off and do something for myself (aka time away from my family ?!%&@). Mostly, it was time for me to unplug. My mind didn't have the space for true creativity. I was doing, which was satisfying, and what I needed.

Fast fwd to 2017, we moved to NY and I had more time and space to really get into clay, taking classes at Clay Arts Center and learning with more intention.  It was only during COVID that I delved deeper into my creative brain. I fell in love with the feel of the clay and creating with my hands. 

My studio space started small; with a wheel and some clay, a work table, some underglazes... and it grew from there.  After 5 years of pottery, it felt like I was just getting started!I teach and make stuff out of my workspace in Irvington NY.  I love taking workshops and joining communal firings ... there is still so much to learn about the world of ceramics. I've only just begun!

My pottery is a process and exploration, bringing together my two passions: food + art.  I express myself through cooking and entertaining, and I make pieces with intention, I build my pots with food in mind; what am I craving? What am I cooking? How am I serving it?  Pottery created by someone who's hungry all the time:)
