Artist Statement
This body of work reflects my experience of growing up in the Midwest, shaped by life in Illinois and Iowa. It draws from quiet, everyday moments that often go unnoticed but linger in memory. These pieces come together as a kind of personal geography, made up of places and details that have stayed with me over time. Across different styles and mediums, the work mirrors the way memory shifts and softens. Together, it becomes a collection that explores beauty in the ordinary, holding onto the small things that quietly shape a sense of home.

Great River Pottery Throwdown
Our Mini Gallery features work from this year's Throwdown competitors, giving you a chance to see more of each artist's style beyond the competition. From functional pottery to one-of-a-kind pieces, the gallery highlights the creativity and craftsmanship each potter brings to the studio.
All artwork is available for purchase, making it a great opportunity to support these talented artists and take home a handmade piece you'll enjoy for years to come.
The exhibit will be on display throughout the month, so stop in, explore the gallery, and discover a new favorite artist.
