I restock work here in the online shop seasonally, with worldwide shipping and in person pick-up options, and through various in-person festivals and galleries throughout the year (see calendar below).
If you’re local or visiting Portland, you can find a selection of pots at Alberta Street Gallery or send me a message to see about a studio visit.
Have something else in mind? For commissions, events, and potential partnerships, please inquire.

“My ceramic sculptures explore the generative forces that shape biological and geological forms.
Emerging from shared patterns of growth, accumulation, erosion, and decay; they evoke bone, coral, mycelial networks, and weathered terrain without settling into any singular reference.
Existing between living and lithic forms, they occupy an ambiguous space where the distinction between organism and mineral is blurred.
Through processes of formation and transformation, the sculptures trace commonalities connecting diverse material expressions across time.”
I practice all variations of construction techniques; throwing, handbuilding, and sculpting and formulate my own glazes, and experiment with local raw materials, in both electric and atmospheric fire settings. The joy of playing with and studying the behavior of elemental materials put to fire motivates my continued exploration.
Thank you for your interest.
