Hello! I’m trying out blue sky. I draw and make cute stuff with clay. Here are some of my recent ceramics. I’ve been making a lot of frogs lately.

It was a slower year than usual for client work, but the projects I had were a joy to work on. I’m grateful for all the opportunities to grow as an artist.
