Hello there...
I am a potter specializing in functional ceramics—objects made to be used, lived with, and enjoyed every day. I love creating mugs, cups, plates, and other forms that feel at home in your hands and in your space. Much of my work centers around exploring surface through playful glaze layering, allowing each piece to develop its own character.
​
What inspires me most is imagining how pottery becomes part of someone’s daily routine—morning coffee, shared meals, quiet moments at home. My style leans rustic and earthy, but I often weave in elements of fantasy, sculpture, and science fiction. I want to add a sense of curiosity and storytelling to my work.
​
I value honesty, transparency, and a job well done. My goal is to share my creativity through thoughtfully made objects that are both functional and meaningful, inviting connection between maker, object, and user.
​
I praise my God and Lord for the opportunity to serve the community through my pottery, and I also praised Him for giving me the time, experience and willingness to practice my craft.
My Story
My journey with clay is deeply tied to my life story. I am an immigrant who came to the United States seeking greater opportunity. Growing up, I watched my parents serve their community as pastors, which shaped my appreciation for service, dedication, and care for others. From a young age, I was drawn to creative pursuits, and my parents encouraged that curiosity and expression.
​
After moving to the U.S., I attended college pursuing a degree in Education. Alongside my studies, I continued practicing pottery and quickly realized that clay was more than a hobby—it was a calling. I began teaching ceramics part-time while still in college and have continued teaching ever since.
​
Over the years, I discovered a deep love for wheel throwing and glaze experimentation. I’ve had the opportunity to work with and learn from a variety of institutions and artists, including serving as a teaching assistant for Joe Hall, teaching wheel throwing at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center and other art organizations, and working as a part-time potter for Mark of the Potter in Georgia.
​
Eventually, I became the administrator of the Quinlan Visual Arts Center ceramic studio, where I also currently teach. Education has been a central part of my life for many years, but in 2024, I made the decision to step into pottery full-time. The transition has been challenging, but deeply rewarding. Today, I continue creating, teaching, and sharing my work—grateful for the journey that brought me here and excited for what lies ahead.
