Clean lines and delicious color are signature to my work. I collect rocks and other found items, using them as base forms for unique, organic vessels. Multiple layers of pigment are hand applied, building rich texture and a tactile finish that begs to be touched!

I am drawn to the clean and simple aesthetic for which the mid-century modern Scandi designers became well recognized. Stylized botanicals often appear on my work by process of sgraffito carving and/or free form pencil scribblings.
