Welcome! I am an artist and educator in Chicago. I create functional ceramic objects in an attempt to inspire you to take more time to have conversations, both with others and yourself. Thanks for visiting!

Sign up for my newsletter - Once a month, I will send you info about upcoming sales, behind the scenes studio photos, and Cups n’ Conversation questions. You will also get early access to online sales and special collections.

Join me in my studio via virtual workshops! Purchase the recording, and have access to the link for one year. Hosted by FrankArts.
