| RESUME |
| ARTIST STATEMENT |
| My work is functional porcelain pottery that is thrown on a wheel and then altered when removed. I decorate my work using imagery that is screen-printed and transferred onto the piece using underglazes. It is finished using bright glazes fired in an electric kiln. I like creating things that I know will be viewed, used, and enjoyed by people everyday. |
