All these years making pots and it’s the first time I’ve ever made a clock!

This was a fun piece to make! Now these Mediterranean vibes are off to live in the Netherlands.

The clay breaks and the form holds. Resilience isn’t about staying intact, but about staying open to change.

I have been having more fun glazing lately… can you tell? 😁

These bowls have layers, texture & spashes like a tumultuous sea.🌊 🌊🌊

Both sculpture and vessel—wheel-thrown, shaped by hand, and rooted in the wabi-sabi spirit of imperfect beauty.

This piece feels like it was grown rather than made.

Part mother, part child, part Buddha. My very first #sculpture is still with me today, sitting under the olive tree.

This piece feels ancient and elemental—like something unearthed after a volcanic event

This week I followed a craving for dark, textured clay—wheel-thrown and altered works in progress…

New seascape vases being uploaded to my shop… and probably the last of those for the time being. I’m feeling the need to get grounded in some deep earthy, textural work.

Wheel-thrown copaleras. Made with sandy stoneware clay and decorated with turquoise glazes, they’re perfect to accompany water loving souls in ritual.

I have just uploaded some new pieces. This is one of my favorites. It reminds me of both the desert and coastal climates.

rounded ceramic vase sitting on brick with stone background. The glaze palette feels both coastal and earthen—with layered colors of soft sage, turquoise and sand. The base shows quiet pinks and rust tones, as if worn by time and weather.
