Born and raised in New Hampshire, my love for ceramics began at an early age because of my Papa. I still remember watching him at the wheel, shaping simple lumps of clay into bowls and cups. I would sit and watch closely entranced by the whole process. Those quiet moments watching him work sparked something in me that never left. What started as curiosity quickly grew into a passion, and over time, that passion became the foundation of who I am as an artist today.
