I'm a neurodivergent illustrator and owner of LJ Studio in South Austin, where I work, play and teach with clay. I am grateful for the moments of peace I find while working with clay and the understanding it has brought to my whole life. When I teach, I incorporate mindfulness practices and emphasize finding peace in the process. I have been making functional art and exploring vibrant color and undulating patterns on simple forms. I am driven by experimentation and look forward to all the possibilities that clay has to offer.
