Handmade Pottery

---

My goal is to create pots that bring joy to you, and improve the energy of the space that it resides in.  I am working towards eliminating single use culture by producing quality, one of a kind keepsakes that you can use and enjoy every day, and cherish for a lifetime. My inspiration comes from local Biota, and how all life effortlessly depends on another, to exist in perfect harmony.

Purchasing from individuals that resonate with your essence is the most important way you can make a positive impact on the world today.  Handmade from start to finish, the clay is fired at 2,380 degrees to create a highly durable porcelain ware that is made to last.  My pots are microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe, and non-toxic.  

My inner artist emerged as a young girl.  My pens and sketch pad were my greatest asset. Drawing was my first experience with self expression. I was exposed to art classes in school where I felt most at home creating paintings, ceramics, and photography.  I have always harbored a "realistic" style, wanting to recreate the beautiful landscapes I've experienced going cross country in my grandparent's motorhome.  Growing up closely with animals, horses, dogs, cats, and chickens created a natural unification between myself and animals. My favorite tv program was The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin being a huge influence on my love and curiosity for animals and the environment. 

As I emerged into adulthood, taking into consideration all that I've experienced and witnessed others experience, it felt natural to go after a lifestyle that did not involve working on something I was not passionate about.  I did not know what I was going to do, but I went after my dreams to move to Lake Tahoe where so many beautiful memories were made as a child.  There, I met my husband Art, and as we started our life together, began the point in which pottery as a career was introduced to me.  With an already live wire of artistic inspiration waiting to be released, it so happened that Art's parents are Fox and Lois, Foxlo Pottery.  That is where everything aligned perfectly for me to take up pottery as a profession and nurture my deep seated passion for creating art.
