In 2016, my husband told me, “Try it for a year and see what happens.” So I did.

At the time, I was working in museums and teaching art, but I wanted to put that creative energy into making my own work. That one year turned into today.

Since then, I've built a full-time art business around pottery, murals, and teaching. I've developed and refined my own transfer process over thousands of pieces, and watched my work find its way into homes and collections across the country (and world).

Today, I work from my studio in Fargo, North Dakota, creating colorful, illustrated pieces inspired by nature, nostalgia, old objects, and the stories we attach to the things we keep.

I've always been drawn to objects that feel like they've lived a little—a favorite mug, an old metal tin, a hand-me-down quilt, something found at a flea market that immediately feels like it belongs with you. That's the feeling I want to create: pieces that feel personal, useful, and worth keeping.

What started as a one-year experiment has become the creative life and work I've always dreamed of.
