A park ranger’s perspective on hand-built clay
The view from here
My ceramics celebrate life, curiosity, and connection. I use clay to capture the moments I want to hold onto a little longer, that make me slow down and pay attention.
Things like a landscape, flowers in the wind, a sunset melting into the ocean. You know… the magic ✨

Coast redwood vase
Coast redwoods, the tallest trees on Earth, drink from the sky along the Pacific Coast. An atmospheric dance between the ocean and the forest, redwoods sip summer fog in the absence of rain.
If you’ve never been to Humboldt County, I recommend going and standing under the big trees :)
Fix your brain
Things that help me remember that the world is still full of magic
Field notes
The good things start in the field!
And the park ranger in me can’t help but to share it all with you ✨
