2025 Anderson Ranch Scholarship Recipient - Clay in Color

I was honored to receive a 2025 Anderson Ranch Arts Center scholarship to attend Clay in Color, a two-week ceramics workshop with Linda López. During the program, I explored color, material experimentation, and surface through hands-on testing and play. This work reflects a period of discovery, curiosity, and growth within an inspiring, collaborative environment.

2023 Anderson Ranch Scholarship Recipient - Jelly Plate Printing

In Summer 2023, I spent a week at Anderson Ranch Art Center exploring jelly-plate printmaking with artist Holly Hughes. Experimenting with layering, texture, and nature-inspired abstraction shifted my work in new directions and opened up ideas I’ve continued to develop. In this post, I share what I learned, how the process influenced my practice, and the pieces that came out of it—some of which are now available in my shop.

2022 Anderson Ranch Scholarship Recipient - Pinch Pot Method

n the summer of 2022, I attended a transformative ceramics workshop at Anderson Ranch in Aspen, Colorado, taught by the incredible artist Paul Briggs. Over two weeks, I created more than 30 vessels using the traditional pinch-pot method, drawing inspiration from Snowmass nature and classical Greek and Roman pottery. This experience introduced ceramics into my studio practice and reshaped the way I think about bringing themes of place, memory, and organic form into my art.
