About Annie

Clay is a rich and boundless material that highlights our union with the Earth. Through the creation of compost containers, fermentation vessels, tableware and meditation necklaces, my work explores the connectivity we generate with our everyday objects as they nourish our bodies and spirit. From wheel throwing to shipping, I make and handle every piece entirely myself. With the completion of each cycle, my connections to this material and the Earth are strengthened. There is growth and appreciation, disillusion and apathy; a yin and yang that fuels my need to keep learning and exploring. 

I see visions of my next work in the layers of moss, bark and decaying leaves that blanket the forest floor and where the sand ripples beneath the endless push and pull of the moon. I taste it in the fresh tomatoes grown in my backyard, fed by the fertile compost collected one scrap at time in my kitchen, regenerating the land that feeds us. I feel my work when I breathe in deep, and recognize the things I am grateful for, always coming back to the gold thread that connects us all. 

I am a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design and I make my work in my home ceramics studio in Maine. CV available upon request.

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.
— Ram Dass
