I am thrilled to be presenting at the WWWC next summer. It will be held at Hollins University June 12-14, 2023. The symposium’s goal is to create an environment that is full of ideas, images, demonstrations, artwork, and discussions. I am looking forward to be a part of this event!

Clay Artists Collect
September 15-October 19, 2022
This fall, my work is included in a group show at Concordia University in St. Paul. Exhibiting artists were asked to include influential pieces from their personal collections that show cross-pollination between artists, styles, and media.
Resource for Art Educators
I am incredibly grateful to have received a 2021 Creative Support for Individuals Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. As part of this grant, I created a resource guide for art educators to provide teachers with reference materials and discussion questions based on the work of three contemporary, nationally recognized female BIPOC ceramists.
Thoughtfully Considered
I am grateful to be included in a wonderful show at the Schaller Gallery this July. Thoughtfully Considered features the work of Mary Barringer, Susan Dewsnap, Sandy Lockwood, Jenn Cole, Leah Lewiston, Nan Coffin, Pete Pinnell, Steve Rolf, Dan Finnegan, Brian Westrick, Mike Helke, and Richard Burkett.

Artaxis Fundraiser
Check out my pots, currently featured as a fundraiser for Artaxis (@artaxis)! Sales support the work of this independent organization–a fantastic resource and network in the ceramic community.
Conservatory
If you’re on the UMN St. Paul Campus, stop by the newly renovated College of Biological Sciences Conservatory & Botanical Collection. While working as an Artist-in-Residence last year, I created a series of large tiles, illustrating plant species specific to each of the Conservatory’s four biomes. My tiles are now permanently installed in the lobby.
