I have been making artwork for as long as I can remember. Growing up in my mom's pottery studio, I learned at an early age how to manipulate clay into whatever I wanted such as pizzas, snowmen and birds. After patient instruction from my mom, around age five I was able to make discernible items and began selling my work at my mom's craft shows.

Art continued to be a very important part of my life throughout high school & college at UNC Chapel Hill. Study abroad in Florence, Italy my senior year of college gave my art a profound new dimension. I also have a passion for archaeology and graduated with a BFA in art concentrating in clay sculpture and a second major in anthropology concentrating in archaeology. I worked full time in an art gallery in Chapel Hill for four years after college and loved every minute of it!

Currently I live in Durham, NC with my cats, Indigo & Neko. I am the studio manager at Tamara Lackey Photography and enjoy watching the photographers work their magic on cute babies, families, couples, and everyone in between. I have a clay jewelry/sculpture and nature photography business in my spare time and sell my work at local shows and on etsy.com. Check out my links below!
