I have always had a passion for the arts and took many art classes in school, however when I headed off to WVU after graduating from Elkins High School, it was to become a Physical Therapist. In my first year of college I took a non-majors ceramics course and I was hooked. It made me remember how much I loved art and so I made the tough choice to switch majors and I’ve never looked back.

​

I’ve been working in clay and teaching art classes locally through various programs since 2015. My art was my side gig as I worked “day jobs” up until 2020 when I made the switch to making and teaching art being my full-time job.

​

I dabble in all sorts of art but pottery is my main love. I enjoy being able to make beautiful objects that become part of people's everyday routines. There are so many different tools and techniques to learn that pottery is the one thing I don’t think I will ever get bored of doing. My style is always evolving but I’m most interested in color, texture, and graphic elements, and I hope that comes through in my work!
