Seasonal Changes at Out Beyond... these are seasons of life, not just weather. 

Normally this time of year I'd be in full production for the Christmas Markets I attend in November... however, family comes first this year. My Dad turns 90 in November... 90! Can you even imagine?  So my heart tells me to spend as much time as I can with him. He's in a good head space still, and he and my Mom need some extra support right now. 

So - this year is all about studio sales, collaborations with other artists, and simplifying life. 

I have lots of new ideas that will be rolling out of the kiln room and through social media this fall. If you are local to Creston you're the lucky one's - you'll have the choicest picks. Those of you further away, I will be happy to ship or deliver, depending where you are. 

Thank you for being here, through all the seasons of life. Handmade matters and I thank you for continuing to make it matter. 

Studio Storefront Hours and Access

The studio is my creative haven, and I'm here a lot (like...all the time)—just a five-minute dash from home when I'm not at a show or walking with my dogga Fid. You’re welcome to stop by anytime to see if the neon signs in the windows are glowing, signaling that I’m in. Or, if you'd like to plan a visit, simply text or call me at 250-402-9257, and we'll set up a time for you to drop by. Whether spontaneous or planned, I’d love to welcome you into the studio to explore the latest pieces fresh from the kiln! 

Latest Post: Structure Sets Me Free

I live in a space where spreadsheets and sketchbooks co-exist. I think creatively and execute deliberately. I problem-solve with flexibility and imagination—but I always have a plan, often in the form of a tidy Excel file. Nerd alert.

Artist Statement

My work begins with function, crafted to fit seamlessly into daily life—but it is the alchemy of glazes, rooted in chemistry and curiosity, that brings each piece to life. I’m passionate about creating objects that feel right: a handle balanced perfectly to your grip, the ideal weight in your hand, just the right capacity for what it holds.

To me, beauty in everyday objects transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary. Each piece is a celebration of those small moments that make life richer, more vibrant, more joyful. Every piece is made with intention, no two are alike, each one a unique expression of love and care.

I care how much coffee a mug holds and the way the handle feels. How it feels against my lips and how long the coffee stays at the right temperature. It matters so much, you wouldn't believe how much time I spend making that right!
