In 2010, I graduated from Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and a Minor in Art History. Functional wheel-thrown forms are my area of expertise regarding ceramics. I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself into glaze testing and it’s process.  The science and results are both interesting and rewarding. While ceramics is not the sole focus of my artwork currently, it is still something I am passionate about and do whenever I can.

Living in Northeast Indiana, I am blessed with vibrant seasons throughout the year, therefore never being at a loss for inspiration from nature.

When not at work or in my studio, I enjoy being outdoors, cooking – trying new recipes and making off-the-cuff culinary creations, anything involving dogs, bluegill fishing, hiking, and visiting the Northwoods of Minnesota each summer.
