ABOUT
I’m a ceramicist based in Austin, Texas, creating one-of-a-kind vessels that explore shape, surface, and form.
I came to clay through curiosity. I run a branding & graphic design studio, and at the time, I was looking for a creative outlet just for myself. Something offline. Something physical. Clay offered that. What surprised me most was how much I enjoyed the process, even the mess of it, because when I sat down at the wheel, my over-thinking mind quieted in a way it never had previously.
Though it was challenging, there was something meditative about learning to make something from a lump of mud. The pace of it, the repetition, the focus.
Over time, I found myself drawn to one form in particular: the weedpot. These vessels aren’t made to hold water, and instead hold a single dried stem. The rhythm of refining a form, over and over, is deeply satisfying.
Thanks for being here. I’m so glad you found my work.
Artist statement
My ceramic work is inspired by the philosophy that beauty lies in simplicity and the subtle details that often go unnoticed. Drawing inspiration from mid-century-modern design, the primary focus of my work lies in decorative vessels, termed ‘weedpots’ by the great ceramicist Doyle Lane. These vases focus on form rather than function, and are designed to hold a single dried stem.
Each piece is a contemplation in clay, an exploration of curves, textures, and the interplay of light and shadow. I believe in the quiet power of understated elegance, where each vessel serves as a gentle complement to the home’s decor rather than commanding center stage.
I strive to create pieces that blend seamlessly with their surroundings, adding a touch of serenity and sophistication without overwhelming the senses. These vessels are small sculptures, each with its own personality and story, contributing to the narrative of the home in a modest yet meaningful way.
