BIOGRAPHY
Jenny makes stoneware ceramics in a tri-state area. She starts with wet clay, making and finishing forms and vessels in Southern Indiana. From there, everything is very carefully packed and transported for firing, glazing and firing again on a farm in Northern Kentucky. Finally, she spends much of her time in Chicagoland, where she shares a home with her person and her cat, Harley. She enjoys growing plants, exploring new food in new neighborhoods and going on table top game adventures.
​
She has explored several artistic mediums, but began focusing her pursuit of ceramic art in 2017. Along this journey, with the help of many, she has been a student, a teacher, a builder, an electrician and a kiln specialist.
As of March 2025, Jenny is preparing for art and craft fair events for the summer and fall.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I believe ceramic work is a collaboration between myself and the materials I work with. I acknowledge that I can only influence the materials, never truly removing the memory of the shapes the clay has been before. I also recognize that my control of a piece ends when it goes into the kiln.
My intention is for people to use my pieces, to enjoy them, and even to break them (eventually). I intentionally avoid making exclusively decorative pieces because I do not want to add clutter and waste to our shared surroundings.
CURRENT COLLECTIONS
​I'm still following my desires and making pieces of all shapes, designed in two styles. ​
​
The Future Was Now celebrates the bright geometric splashes of color found throughout the decades. A mix of Mod, midcentury, vaporwave, Trapper Keeper, Rocko's Modern Life and so many disposable cups.
​
Natural Respite reflects the colors and textures of nature. These pieces are designed and glazed to help us recall beaches, forests, gardens and the quiet sanctuary of a back yard. These glazes are the "traditional" reactive glazes used in ways that are familiar and fresh.
