blue stone bowl
Handbuilt ceramic bowl with carved exterior texture and a deep blue interior glaze reminiscent of tidal water. The surface is intentionally raw and tactile, contrasting with the smooth, glassy interior. The base is stamped by hand, grounding the piece in identity and process. Each mark and variation reflects the movement of clay and the imprint of touch.

rhythmic chime study
A sculptural exploration of sound and movement. This hand-formed stoneware windchime features sixteen individual ceramic discs, each impressed with a detailed radial texture and finished in a weathered sea-foam glaze. The piece is designed to create a soft, percussive harmony that bridges the gap between my work in ceramics and my background in music.
floral impression footed dish
A shallow, hand-formed stoneware dish supported by a tripod of earthen feet. This piece features dense, overlapping floral and geometric impressions across the interior, finished with a weathered sea-foam glaze that pools to highlight the intricate linework. It serves as a study in balancing complex surface patterns with a simple, organic silhouette.
