The Work

I envision my work being used in a celebratory event.  Whether that means the best cup of coffee ever in the morning, a potluck with friends, or a holiday feast with family.  My work should add to the good feelings that transpire when people come together for a social event that involves food and drink.  Through bright colors, playful drawings, and a simple touch, the pieces become relatable and are accessible.  By leaving attachments and overlaps showing, as well as imperfections that result from hand building, the work remains humble and sincere.
