I think art should be accessible to everyone. My number one wish is that every person finds some way to create for the sake of creating.

When creating, I like to give my pieces a little bit of whimsy and imagination, while still being functional. I like the idea that art can be carried around in your pocket. I like the idea that no space is too small for a little bit of imagination.

All of my pottery pieces, great and small, are made individually by hand and are food and microwave safe.
