I am the creative force behind Slow Studio. I've worked primarily in clay for almost 20 years. I was born in New York City, but spent my formative years amidst rural academia in Amherst Massachusetts. When I discovered clay at the Massachusetts College of Art years ago, I knew immediately that it was a material which I innately understood.

The natural world provides me with endless color, form and texture ideas which have informed my work in clay and also have lately found their way into Slow Studio's Mini Mountain Supply line of hand block printed linen textiles which complement my ceramic ware with similar earth- toned colors and simple straight-forward designs.

When not in my studio I can be found teaching art and ceramics at an independent boarding and day school in the countryside of New England. I  produce both Slow Studio lines of ceramic tableware and Mini Mountain Supply linens at my farmhouse studio in Vermont.
