#1 Amanita-inspired teacups and saucers for a fairy tea party

Just as a goldsmith uses gold as a material, I use the medium of wonder to shape my work! I’ve shared Wonder in many forms throughout the years. Everything I do is designed to enhance our connections to ourselves, our community, and the glorious natural world. The various landscapes of my home, the Pacific Northwest, inspire everything I create, from the ceramics I sculpt to the recipes I bake!
You can check more of the work I shared on Bored Panda here, here, here and here!
#2 I love the serenity of this sea urchin-inspired tea set

#3 What do you think of these mussel shell pasta plates with barnacles on the backs? I fired them an extra time to make them iridescent

#4 I love this giant snail teapot and the matching cups

#5 Hope you like bees - this set has giant honeybees as the teacup handles

I grew up in remote Idaho and spent my summers on a fire lookout many miles from civilization. It was in these idyllic natural settings that I developed a deep love of the natural world, as well as a healthy imagination. I pursued my creativity all the way to art school in Canada, where I dove into working with my hands to create unique tableware and artwork.
#6 Rose petal plates

#7 Poppy seedheads inspired this tea set. The cup lids come off and act as little plates for treats

Currently, I live with my partner Cristin and adopted dog Grimm in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where we love to explore the landscapes that inspire me.
I do this work because I feel like the world needs it. We need to notice the magic and engage with the wonder. We need to see the beauty in nature so we feel compelled to protect it. And, importantly, we need to have fun.
