My ceramic pieces are on display at The Hoxton Portland, inside their Pamana restaurant on the main floor.

If you are in PDX, take a look in person. The display includes a mix of vessels, cups, bowls, and planters, all settled into a beautiful space alongside the art and warm details of the room. The pieces are available for purchase.

Thanks to The Hoxton for making space for clay in such a lively setting.

Downtown PDX, Today. This is my last Wednesday here, until September. I start teaching at Mt Hood CC Mondays and Wednesday for the remainder of the summer. I think there are few spaces if you are interested.

There’s something deeply satisfying about creating

There’s something deeply satisfying about creating pieces that quietly connect us back to nature. These porcelain garden forms were made to hold living air plants — small sculptural moments that bring softness, calm, and organic life into a space.

As I move into summer studio work, I’m feeling pulled toward creating more of these “Gardenworks” pieces alongside my functional pottery and vessels. Should I make more of them?
I’d love to hear where you could imagine one living — windowsill, garden room, meditation space, kitchen, office, patio?

Over the past several years, I’ve been immersed in making decorative vessels. As summer approaches, I’m returning to Clift House functional works—objects meant to be lived with, used, and to quietly connect us back to nature. This is in preparation of Clay Commons Ceramic Market

I’m excited to invite you to the 2026 Ceramic Show

I’m excited to invite you to the 2026 Ceramic Showcase, presented by the Oregon Potters Association—one of the most vibrant celebrations of clay in the Pacific Northwest.
I’ll be exhibiting a new body of work at Booth 130, continuing my exploration of form, surface, and the quiet moments when the world feels most alive. These pieces carry traces of process, memory, and the energy of the kiln—each one shaped by both intention and discovery. It’s always meaningful to share this work in person, where the subtleties of texture, light, and form can truly be experienced.

The Showcase is more than an exhibition—it’s a chance to connect. Whether you’re a fellow maker, collector, or simply curious about ceramics, I’d love for you to come by, spend some time with the work, and say hello. @oregonpotters @ceramicshowcase
