The Hands Behind the Clay

I began my artistic journey in 2009 by attending the Columbus College of Art & Design, where I earned my BFA in Fine Art focusing in ceramics and small scale metals. Following graduation it wasn’t financially feasible for me to continue creating jewelry, so I dove hands first into clay and have been playing with mud ever since. In the years following graduation I taught art, restored art, and served in the non-profit arts sector as a grant maker, but always had a desire to create full-time. In 2021 I decided to take a chance on myself, forming Glazed & Confused Creations pursue my craft as a full-time career.
Having been born and raised in Florida, my work is heavily influenced by the colors of the island and Caribbean, while my designs are inspired from both the Art Deco and Art Nouveau eras.

#1 Studio Helper and Official Lookout

Rescued off the streets of Kentucky, not much is known about my life, but the humans seem to think I’m around 7 or so, and possibly a Dachshund/Chihuahua/Beagle mix.

I love helping in the studio, making sure play breaks are taken regularly, and ensuring the neighborhood cats don’t mess with the boss lady.

Part-Time Helper and Full-Time Napper

Rescued from a shelter in Cincinnati, I was teased when I was little, and scare easily, but the new humans take good care of me. I’m around 9 or so, and a Pomeranian/Sheltie mix.
I don’t love being in studio, if we’re being honest I’d much rather spend the day alone in my quiet bed. I do supervise on occasion, but only when it’s inside. As any proper pupper would tell you, that outside stuff is for the birds.
