Based in Milwaukee, I am a multidisciplinary artist and consultant with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My practice spans ceramic art, public art curation, and fund development, working at the intersection of creative production and community infrastructure.

​

My work as an artist centers on transforming clay into functional vessels that operate as both objects and experiences. Rooted in the principles of useful beauty, my ceramics draw from traditional craftsmanship while embracing contemporary form—creating pieces that invite daily use, interaction, and reflection.

​

Alongside my studio practice, I work with artists and nonprofits to build sustainable systems through grant writing, project development, and public art initiatives. This dual practice informs my approach to making: grounded in material, shaped by narrative, and connected to community.

Get in Touch! My studio is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Stop by the Galerie Bibliotheque at 5700 West Vliet Street or sign up for my newsletter.
