A ceramic artist and educator with two MFA degrees from Cranbrook Academy of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I have taught ceramics, 3D printing, mold-making, and professional practice at the university level for over two decades. Currently serving as Adjunct Assistant Professor at SAIC, I emphasize interdisciplinary approaches that bridge traditional ceramic processes with digital fabrication and conceptual inquiry. My creative work has been supported by residencies at MacDowell Colony, Millay Colony, Bemis Center, and Jentel, and is held in the collection of the Illinois Holocaust Museum. I have exhibited widely and delivered lectures on my artistic practice. My teaching is informed by a deep engagement with materiality, process, and contemporary art discourse, fostering critical making and technical rigor in students.
