What’s in a name
I am an artist who finds meaning in the pieces I make. They touch your heart and soul and are not just pretty pots… They have relevance in our lives and I try to speak to that in giving them a named series.
Mugs Mugs Mugs
Mugs are one of my favorite things to create.
These small, handheld pieces of art invite connection and joy into everyday moments. They aren’t just vessels; they’re companions to your morning coffee, your quiet tea breaks, and your moments of reflection.
And yes, that dimple—it’s intentional. Think of it as a little gift from me to you. It’s there to caress, to explore, to connect you with the tactile nature of handcrafted pottery.
When you drink from one of my mugs, you’ll feel the marks of my hands—grooves, impressions, and subtle details that speak of the craft and care in every piece. Many of my works also feature the “Window to the Soul,” a small, thoughtful detail that carries a deeper message: when one door closes, another window opens. It’s a reminder to embrace transparency, to live authentically, and to let go of the need to hide who we truly are. After all, life is so much easier when we embrace the beauty of being ourselves.
I am not one of those potters who creates the same pieces year after year.
Each of my works is an evolution, born from reflection, experimentation, and intention. With every series, I aim to craft not just functional pottery but pieces that hold deeper meaning—stories that resonate, comfort, and provoke curiosity.
Below, I’ve shared insights into a few of my collections. Perhaps one will connect with you in a way that feels familiar, or maybe it will awaken something unexpected and unique within you. That, to me, is the most rewarding aspect of art—the way it inspires self-discovery. Whether through the hands that create or the heart that interprets, art transforms, offering a bridge between the maker’s vision and your personal story.
Genie Condo Potion Bottles
A whimsical exploration of form and function, the Genie Condo Potion Bottles blend charm with practicality.
The "Genie Condo Potion Bottles" are a unique blend of art and functionality, inspired by the enchanting imagery of genies and their mystical dwellings.
Each bottle, standing at a petite 3-5 inches tall, is meticulously crafted to serve as a charming container for a variety of uses. From holding exotic spices to storing scented water, these bottles invite users to tap into their creativity. The spiral top design, reminiscent of a genie returning to her vessel, adds an element of whimsy and wonder to each piece.
The true magic of these bottles lies in their ability to hold something far more personal and intangible. They serve as a physical manifestation of one’s inner world, a private sanctuary where thoughts, fears, dreams, and wishes can be stored and revisited. This concept transforms each bottle into more than just a decorative item; it becomes a companion in one’s journey of self-reflection and personal growth.

The unglazed interior subtly softens the acidity of coffee and tea, providing a smoother, richer taste that elevates your daily ritual. With each use, your mug develops a unique patina—a "seasoning" that tells a story of shared moments and memories. This natural aging process adds character, making your mug truly one-of-a-kind.
The Inner Echoes mug symbolizes embracing who we are beneath the surface, encouraging mindfulness and authenticity in every sip. Its raw, earthy texture invites you to feel every nuance of its form, providing a grounding and comforting experience. Every curve and contour is designed to fit comfortably in your hands, turning the simple act of holding a mug into a moment of connection.
Over time, your Inner Echoes mug transforms into a cherished companion that holds the echoes of your life's journey. It's a canvas for memories, a holder of stories, and a reflection of you.

The high-sided rims ensure that nothing spills, whether you’re enjoying bacon and eggs in front of the television or a hearty pasta dish filled with shrimp and sauce at the table. Each piece may be adorned with intricate chattering marks and carvings that lend texture and depth to the design. And the colours—oh, the colours! The Relics Collection brings out the warmth of rich caramels, the subtleties of sandy beaches, and the sweeping drama of a desert sandstorm.

Each kiln load is different
I am not one of those potters that makes the same things over and over again. Each firing looks a little different from the previous firing. That is one of the joys of being a maker.
If there is something that you really want me to consider making, just ask. I don’t always have time to make custom work, but… let’s chat about it and see if it’s do-able.
