Simple pleasure
Reading a really good book

I’m from New York and have been working with ceramics for over nine years.

My grandmother is a potter, and I grew up around clay. My work is usually sculptural and mixed media. I love hand building big, but I also love throwing on the wheel, making bowls and cups to use.

Work

  • A long braid of white clay flecked with dark brown, hanging on a white wall, its end tied off
  • Pink clay hands and arms circling the foot of a tree trunk in the undergrowth, as if holding it
  • A two-tiered terracotta fountain on a stone plinth in a garden, water spilling from its upper bowl
  • A small cup in a runny amber glaze with white clay lips and ears pinched onto its sides
