Welcome to my website, I am a ceramicist and photographer whose work bridges functional pottery, sculptural form, and alternative photographic processes. I was raised in Moorhead, MN, and am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in Studio Art at Concordia College with a focus in photography, while also taking a class at Minnesota State University Moorhead studying ceramics. Using both wheel-throwing and hand-building, I creates vessels and sculptural pieces that investigate form, figure, function, and surface. I am currently experimenting with various firing styles and glaze finishes while preparing for my upcoming BFA show this spring which will be at Concordia. Alongside ceramics, I also work with digital and film photography, exploring traditional and alternative printing processes such as silver gelatin, cyanotype, and inkjet printing. My photographic work explores classic photography such as landscape and portraits, along with more abstract work of close up surfaces and objects.

My work is inspired by nature, everyday life, and a desire to understand the depth of technical processes throughout different mediums. I have spent time in nature all my life, enjoying the never-ending questions of “how?” and “why?” that flow through my mind. I continue to marvel at nature’s sculptural and compositional brilliance as I mature, leaving me inspired to connect with her natural ingenuity as I work. My everyday life often offers moments to reflect on myself, and also the world around me. This reflection rarely brings clarity and instead throws me into turmoil that only seems to be pacified through creation. My desire to master the technical aspects of my artwork is due to my belief that for myself, having full control over the technical process will open the doors wide for my ideas and visions to step through and transform into the creations they wish to be.
