Wise Woman Alchemist

Transforming Clay, Plants, and Energy.

I’m inspired by Story. I’m inspired by nature around me.

Plants, Animal Life, Fungi, Minerals, Earth, Air, Water, and the elements of the actual world are the ultimate inspiration for what I create. It moves through me in my unique way. To me, the world has many symbols that resonate with my path, and I choose to include these symbols in my artwork. Pottery is the perfect balance of art and function to display these meaningful images. I create what is sacred to me in my daily life, as it is all a ritual practice. Cooking is another passion for me and so I merge my love for functional pottery with this practice of creating intentional pieces that feel good.

You’ll find a mix of minimal, Earthy pieces and detailed symbolism, both styles represent my creativity. Just like seasons, I will change my offerings, I will provide staples for everyone to enjoy and I will create unique pieces that will be short-lived. This is the ebbs and flows of the natural world, as part of such I will do the same.
Thank you for giving me space to offer these creations to the world, it is my greatest purpose.


I walk as a Mystic
Covered in ordinary clothes
no rituals to call my own
Without a cave-dwelling
Or secret spells
A mystic of the everyday
Wise
An elder beyond my time
I’ve lived this before
I’ve seen this all
Another time
Another plane
My powers come from truth
Only truth
I am only what I am
Nothing more to claim
The mystic that walks among us
There are many more
We show our face
Once more
