Artist Statement

Overall, I want my work to give society a reason to bring handmade objects into their homes during a time when there is so much emphasis placed on speedy production and mass quantities. In a sense, pottery almost forces people to slow down and appreciate the craft while also putting the work to good use. Instead of observing my work from afar, people get to actually utilize and interact with it, which I highly encourage. My pieces are made to be used in the home and on the table -- to drink your coffee out of, to serve your dinner guests with -- whatever use you see fit!
