 I make functional pottery with lively and playful animals carved onto my pots.  I create stories and scenes with these animals, creating characters that people can see, relate, and connect with. Like many other potters, I believe that using handmade objects brings joy to people in their daily lives.  I want my pots to delight the people that use them.
