About Me

I was adopted as a baby from Vietnam and brought to the flatlands of Lubbock Texas.  I grew up as a classically trained ballet dancer and then moved to New York City after receiving my BFA in Dance from the University of Texas at Austin. While in NYC, I discovered that pottery was truly a way to express myself and encompass my artistic endeavors.  After 16 years of classical ballet training I decided to retire my point shoes and get my hands dirty in clay.  I worked for over a decade as the lead thrower at Sunset Canyon Pottery, and am now working as a Studio potter in residence at Eye of the Dog Art Center in San Marcos,TX.

I am a maker of fancy porcelain pottery. Each pot is carefully and precisely executed with a mindful meditative approach to the overall design and decoration.  I purposely want my pottery to feel tactility soothing and visually exciting.

 I would like you to have a sense of wonderment and excitement each time you use my pottery...I know I still do each time I create one.            

                                      Cheers!
