Growing up as a Wisconsin farm kid the appreciation and veneration of food was ingrained at a young age, and becoming a potter was a natural transition for me.

I am greatly inspired by connections: connection of food to farm to the connection between potter and cook.

By embracing the use of a handmade object the individual allows for a connection to be created between maker and user, giving a greater appreciation and purpose to the object.

Each object is made to encourage the viewer to explore it with their hands; to feel the texture, weight, and the overall essence of the piece.

Most of all they are meant to be vessels for the sharing of food made with the same amount of passion and care as the pot itself.
