“I create usable art—functional ceramics, too nice, hopefully, to hide in a cupboard. Clay is my canvas: I hand-brush all of my glazes into ’scapes’ of bold colors, often mixed with metallics, and elements of texture. My ceramics are food, dishwasher and microwave safe.

“As a functional potter I like to challenge myself to alter ‘ordinary’ forms—cylinders that become mugs, tumblers or vases, and bowls of various shapes—with cutouts, added elements or texture to become artistic forms that retain their functionality.

“My passion for art is lifelong. I’ve worked as a graphic designer for 25+ years, and photography was a hobby long before I discovered ceramics.

“have a home studio in Corvallis and welcome guests by appointment. Please contact me if you’d like to see my ceramics and where they’re made.

“In addition to TEAL, I show and sell my work in galleries and at events in Corvallis and beyond."
