my farmers markets in the summer of 2019 and my first farmers market was in Idaho falls, Idaho. The following year I expanded my studio and was able to do two farmers markets, the one in Idaho falls and a second one in Driggs, Idaho. This year I expanded again and was doing the Idaho falls market, the Driggs market and my new market in Victor, Idaho. It was definitely a lot of work to be able to make enough product to do all three markets, but it was an awesome growing opportunity. I am currently attending school at BYU Idaho to earn my bachelor's degree in fine arts with a 3D emphasis. Byui has been an awesome opportunity to expand my knowledge and skill as a Potter and I am projected to graduate in the spring of 2026.

I fell in love with North Idaho and had some amazing opportunities at local galleries and with local artists.I was fortunate enough to get a job as a children's pottery instructor at a gallery downtown called emerge . There I taught children and adult classes and had the opportunity to show my art for the first time in group shows . I worked at emerge for 3 years while I was going to school.During the summertime on my off tracks at school, I would come home for the Summers and do farmers markets out of the studio space that my father created for me in Sunnydale.
