Mia’s Culpa

I would love for you to have more art

I’m an artist and teacher living and making in Denver, CO. After studying pottery in college (along with theater & writing) I spent 20 years without access to a studio. After covid lock-down, I decided to find my way back – first weekly, then bi-weekly. Now I spend most afternoons at Kinship Studio.

Some people swap careers along the way (I still have time) but I’ve spent the last 20-some years pursuing simultaneous careers instead: theater with Grapefruit Lab, music with Teacup Gorilla, web design with OddBird, and several other arts unaffiliated (but never alone).

This site has bits and parts of my other arts, but is mostly dedicated to pottery. I’m interested in the ways a process and a material push back, forcing me to adjust and reconsider my perspective. I’m not trying to be original – I only want to be attentive to that negotiation.

I have no interest in a world where I can conjure up exactly what’s in my head. Why bother? I’m constantly imagining the wrong things.
