ABOUT
I discovered my passion for ceramics while pursuing a photography degree at Herron School of Art & Design at IUPUI. Initially, I took a wheel-throwing class as an elective, but I quickly became captivated by the tactile nature of clay and the hands-on process of shaping and transforming it. That experience shifted my focus toward ceramics, and it became clear that this medium resonated with my creative process. I earned my BFA in Ceramics and Photography in 2010, combining my love for both disciplines while continuing to deepen my exploration of clay.
In 2013, I began teaching wheel throwing at the Indianapolis Art Center. Instructing others not only allowed me to share my knowledge but also helped me grow as an artist. After several years of teaching, I joined IS183 Art School of the Berkshires as the Ceramic Studio Manager, a position I held until 2021.
In 2021, I relocated to Alamance County, North Carolina. I currently teach at Claymakers in Durham, where I began in August 2023, and at Delores Pottery Studio, starting in June 2024. With over 20 years of experience in ceramics and more than a decade of teaching, I continue to explore new creative directions while sharing my expertise and passion for the craft. I am also in the process of establishing my ceramic studio, Half Full Ceramics, in Alamance County.
