I’ve been putting off writing this for a while now. For the past month I’ve been going over and over how I wanted to approach talking about what’s been going on in my life and work but the idea of writing about everything that’s been happening was upsetting and I’ve fallen behind. As of the end of June, my studio was evicted. It almost feels like … Continue reading One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a pretty inconsistent updater.

I’ve discovered so many rad artists through their Instagram feeds. I like seeing how other artists approach their studio practices and seeing how their work changes and evolves over time. … Continue reading ICYMI: Rad Artists on Instagram
Being an artist and a small business owner can get pretty frustrating sometimes. After unloading a pretty successful firing this past week I realized that if I want to keep making more work in my tiny space, I probably have to find a home for some of the work I already have. Working as an artist suits me well, I get to spend most of my … Continue reading More Winter for your Spring
Today my new line of work titled Desert Winter is finally available online! Since I’ve moved to California succulents have become a fascination of mine. I had tried growing them when I lived on the East coast but they always ended up meeting an untimely demise. They were always too cold or under/overwatered and tended to dry up after a month. But they love it here in … Continue reading Desert Winter
I’ve been working in a new clay for about 6 months now. It’s a mid-fire clay body that fires black called Cassius Basaltic and I was in love the second I saw the test tile at the ceramic supply store. It’s got a gorgeous texture, it has such an interesting color and at the time I hadn’t seen many artists in the community using it. … Continue reading An Introduction
