About my Work

​

​

I make wheel-thrown functional pottery. My surface patterns are inspired by the world we live in, including both the natural and the designed.

 

A native New Yorker, I studied at The Rhode Island School of Design and Teachers College, Columbia University. My work in surface design and fashion has influenced my work in ceramics. My experience teaching at The Fashion Institute of Technology and Teachers College has been a foundation for my Wheel-Throwing and Surface Design Class at Echo Ceramics.

 

The pieces I make complement one another and work in flexible groupings. They are intended to become part of daily life but are also designed as stand-alone objects.

 

My artistic vision is continually evolving but it always intended to reflect a simple, clean and contemporary design aesthetic that is  hopefully timeless.
