"Suite One Studio items are produced in short runs in my cozy studio in North Carolina. The small batch nature of my work results in coveted limited editions. I work with high quality porcelain, formulate my own chic, colorful glazes inspired by watercolor paintings, and finish many of my pieces with a delicate flourish of genuine gold. Exclusive collaborations are available through a select handful of high-end boutiques and thoughtfully curated shops around the world. 
Few things make me happier than good food shared with good people. I work to design and make tableware special enough to accompany the heartfelt gatherings that make up some of our most memorable moments together. In short, I believe that your plates should earn their seat at your table, and that together we can make mealtimes everywhere more beautiful."

"In the late 1990’s, I began the full-time pursuit of clay, and produced a wide range of wheel-thrown and hand-built sculptural forms that were Raku fired. Elegant, uncluttered surfaces interested me as a counterpoint to the wildly organic patterning that resulted from the smoke and flame of Raku.  I focused first on glazes rich in copper luster; and later explored slip-resist techniques, whereby smoke penetrates masking layers of slip/glaze to deposit organic carbon patterns into the clay’s surface.

In time, with the historical study of clay works and the advancement of my technical skills, I could fulfill my passion for bas-relief ceramics.  In bas-relief, sections of clay project out from a flat background.  Bas-relief tiles were used extensively for centuries in Asia and the Middle East to record military exploits or religious deities.  Bas-relief was the ideal bridge between two of my greatest passions: clay and nature. I began a series of 3-dimensional landscapes in 2006 which have now become my signature ceramics. 
​
Chinese screens were the inspiration for my method of slicing an image into component elements, which are placed adjacent to one another--each panel or tile functions as an independent work and as a part of a greater whole.  The tile is a canvas, but unlike one on which you would simply paint.  My clay landscapes have tangible depth and texture that play with light and create shadows that shift around on the tile throughout the day. My color process relies wholly on ceramic mediums (no paint) fired to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.  This process leaves a matt, earthy surface that echoes the natural world of my native New England, from which I draw my inspiration."
