Clay
Joined the guild in 2024
Today, I continue to make ceramics featuring whimsical characters and quirky details infused with playful and unexpected elements. I love combining hand-built and wheel thrown forms while using mid-range glazes. Whether a mug with an unusual handle, a bowl that evolves into a rooster, a “Bubba” face jug, or a forgotten juke joint they all evoke the spirit of the Mississippi delta where I was born.
For me, clay is not just a medium-it is a way of honoring the land, the people and the culture that shaped me. I create pieces that echo the timeless spirit of the Delta.
