I am a studio potter living and working in Minnesota. My work is inspired by industrial processes and the american studio pottery tradition. I take great joy and pride in making every-day objects that work well and are crafted with care and consideration. I hope that my work might be comfortably employed in one's life; beautiful in it's ability to accomplish a given task and agreeable enough to do it every day.
