‍Handmade on the Mountain

I began throwing pots on the Upper East Side of New York City, seeking a tactile outlet to balance long hours spent writing in advertising. After nearly a decade of exploring different clays, forms, and firings, my husband and I relocated to a mountaintop in Roscoe, NY—where pottery evolved from pastime to passion, and the work took on a more sculptural, personal identity.

I love to create functional, artistic ceramics that reflect both natural curves and weathered, muddled surfaces of the Catskills landscape, as well as the worn beauty of found artifacts. Drawn to form over formal decoration, I’ve embraced cone 6 salt firing—a process where atmospheric effects in the kiln create elemental unpredictability across each piece. I fire my work with Sara Paterson, of Crooked Willow Pottery in Bethel, NY, as I continue to learn the depth and beauty of atmospheric techniques.

My work is featured in local markets and establishments throughout the region including Catskills Curated, The Little Studio, the Farmhouse Project Makers Market, the showroom at Crooked Willow Pottery, The Roscoe Collective, and The Yarra.
