Drawing on The Unicorn in Captivity, the final panel of the medieval Unicorn Tapestries (ca. 1500), this sculpture reimagines the captured unicorn breaking free.
Built to capture the natural texture of a pomegranate and fired in an anagama kiln, this piece is a reminder of how remarkable a simple object can be.
This lamp nods to the breeze blocks common across Florida and the honeybee's gift for building intricate, structured forms.
Inspired by the natural world, baroque art, and mythical creatures. Forms made with simple palettes, to emphasize the textures and details in the work.

Thrown on the wheel or built by coil and slab, every piece begins as raw clay.
I was born and raised in Florida and took my first ceramics class in high school. I fell in love with hand-building on my very first project.
I now live in Marshall, North Carolina, and attend UNC Asheville, where I'm studying to become an elementary school art teacher.
