Her passion is for functional pots that you can hold and caress and that have meaning in your everyday life - coffee in the morning with a favorite mug, your hands familiar with every curve and ridge. Porcelain is her medium because it enhances the vibrancy and richness of the glazes.

In her own words, "What I want to create are pots that are graceful, alive and that asked to be touched. I always wanted to be an artist and scientist and in working with clay and glazes, I find myself right where I want to be."
