I am a visually impaired functional potter with over a decade of experience, working from a home studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. My practice centers on functional, repetitious forms—such as dinnerware and everyday vessels—each made by hand and subtly different from the next. By working in multiples, my forms evolve slowly over time through repetition, use, and continual refinement.I am a visually impaired functional potter with over a decade of experience, working from a home studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. My practice centers on functional, repetitious forms—such as dinnerware and everyday vessels—each made by hand and subtly different from the next. By working in multiples, my forms evolve slowly over time through repetition, use, and continual refinement.
Each session at the wheel, through slab building, or with molding is an opportunity to refine form while maintaining the presence of the handmade. I work across multiple forming techniques—wheel-thrown, slab-built, and molded—often combining them within a single piece. This layered process allows me to create work that is both visually intentional and designed for daily use, where balance, proportion, and surface are considered alongside function.
Through color and surface, I explore and communicate my visual point of view. Texture, contrast, and repetition become tools for engagement, inviting touch and use while emphasizing durability and accessibility in everyday objects.
