ceramic art & desert ecologies

i am a wildlife biologist & ecologist in the chihuahuan desert, exploring ecology and connection to landscape through ceramics. all of my work is inspired by the madrean archipelago, where i spend the majority of my time in the field doing wildlife surveys and habitat restoration projects. you can check out some of my past work below, or see my portfolio for more details. also, please sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date on any shop updates, gallery exhibits, or the occasional studio/project update.
