Selected Works

Held Breath
$195.00

A quiet, contemplative form, Held Breath is a full-bodied porcelain vessel finished in a soft, grey-green celadon glaze. The silhouette narrows gently into a refined neck, creating a sense of poise and subtle tension—like an inhalation just before release. This piece captures stillness and balance, the glaze pooling slightly darker at the foot and rim, echoing the natural undulation of breath.

The Contour Studies series is a collection of elegant, bulbous vessels crafted from porcelain, fully vitrified for strength and durability. Each form features soft, rounded contours and a sculptural presence that feels both quiet and intentional.

All vessels have a glazed interior.

Each piece is individually wheel-thrown and hand-finished. Subtle variations in size, shape, and glaze tone are part of the handmade nature of the work.

Size: Approx. 8” tall by 6” wide

Skyfold
$135.00

Skyfold is a hand-thrown ceramic vessel layered with glazes that evoke open sky and shifting light. Muted blue, pale grey, and warm sand hues blend seamlessly across its surface, like a horizon folded into clay.

At 6 inches tall, it's both serene and striking—ideal for ikebana, wildflowers, or as a sculptural accent in a quiet corner. No two pieces capture the glaze movement in quite the same way.

Dimensions: Approx. 6" tall x 5” wide
Material: Stoneware with layered celadon glaze
Watertight: Yes
Finish: Satin-matte with soft transitions
Care: Hand wash recommended

One-of-a-kind

Ash and Ember Pitcher
$60.00

Ash and Ember is a wheel-thrown stoneware pitcher shaped by the meeting of warmth and quiet earth. A soft grey glaze settles over the form, easing into the natural clay beneath in a gentle, organic line. The result is a vessel that feels grounded yet alive, echoing the last glow of fading embers.

Generous in the hand and balanced for pouring, this pitcher brings both function and presence to the table. Its raw clay base adds a tactile honesty, while the subtle glaze variation carries the memory of heat and the calm that follows it.

Each piece in the Fire & Earth collection is made individually, embracing the nuance and variation of hand-thrown work. One of a kind.

Approximate size: 6” tall

Food-safe, watertight, and suitable for everyday use.

Care instructions

Hand wash with warm soapy water. Avoid sudden temperature shocks. Not recommended for microwave or dishwasher use. Stoneware will develop subtle changes with time and handling — part of its natural character.

About the work

My work explores balance — between innocence and experience, earth and sky, containment and openness. Moving between ceramics, still life, and abstracted landscapes, I seek quiet moments that hold a sense of pause and presence. Each piece is a bridge between making and being — an offering of stillness and reflection in an overwhelming world.
