In this gallery, I hope you see my love of gardens and a delight in every day objects. Things we find, like a stone that catches our eye that we pick up and slip into our pocket. And, objects from the worlds we build and inherit-- domestic items, such as pitchers and vases. Simple forms like these are my gravity. They ground me while the world spins. And sometimes the world feels like it's spinning out of control. You may see that, in this gallery. Current events cross the threshold into my studio. The tumultuous nature of our world: political, economic, and cultural upheaval can be seen in my work too.

If you find work here that you want to live with you can buy it. Click the "Shop" link in the menu. If it's not in the shop, it might be slated for an exhibition. Please, get in touch, and we can talk about what you're interested in. Thanks for looking!
