My work is influenced by Japanese and early American folk pottery. At my studio in western Massachusetts, I seek to reveal the humble and unassuming origins inherent in the beauty of these objects. Each piece is handcrafted and unique, incorporating glazes that are lead free and fired in a manner that makes them durable and safe. Through contemplation both visually and tactilely, I hope my work embodies strength and honesty in its quiet presence.
