I am a ceramic artist based in Northern New Mexico whose work explores atmosphere, belonging, and the ways people orient themselves within place.

Growing up in the American Southwest and later moving between states, countries, and cultures, my life has been shaped by continual encounters with unfamiliar environments. Through pottery, photography, and material research, i investigate how familiarity emerges—not through permanence, but through attention. Light on a windowsill, the texture of weathered earth, a well-used vessel, a shared meal, or the shifting surface of a wood-fired glaze all become markers of habitation and memory.

My forms draw from architecture, erosion, and movement. Rounded transitions, compressed openings, and softened edges echo both built structures and landscapes shaped by time. Rather than focusing on objects as isolated forms, I love to consider the atmosphere surrounding them.

Working across wood, soda, and oxidation firing, i am drawn to surfaces that feel weathered, quiet, and place-responsive. Ash deposits, subtle colour shifts, and evidence of process are embraced as collaborators in my work.

At its core, my pottery practice is my way of contemplating how a sense of home is created in an unfamiliar world. Through functional objects intended for daily use, i explore belonging not as a destination, but as an ongoing act of making, noticing, and inhabiting.
