Artist Bio/Description:  You may know me from my sourdough bagels. Turns out, bagels and clay teach me a lot about myself, each other, patience and humility. I am delighted to be sharing more of my whimsical, ancient, bespoke ceramics with my community this year via the PT Farmer's Market, via The Clay House, and Pigeon Porch: A place for ceramics, people, time and stories.

Working with clay feels like an awakening each time. It drops me into presence, into my body, and into a lineage of makers that stretches back since time immemorial. Suddenly in conversation with something ancient and alive — memory, land, culture, and the simple magic of making something from the ground beneath our feet.

I’m drawn to shapes and textures that wake up the senses — curves that feel good in your hands, surfaces that surprise you, forms that seem to have their own quiet personalities.

My life is rooted in non-dual animism and my work explores what it means to stay in relationship with the whole to steward a re-membering of what it means to belong, believe and become.

Come see my new studio- The Clay House in partnership with The Mudwood Cottage. We cordially invite you to join us for the first-annual Oddball Faire: Pottery + Peculiar Pieces. We will also have wheels on with opportunities to see some throwing as time allows!
