Dawn at Cathedral Rock - Art of the Cup Finalist
One year can change everything.
Last year, my Art of the Cup entries broke before I could finish them. I scrambled, sent a farmer’s market cup, and got the polite “thanks for entering.” Truth was… it just wasn’t good enough.
Fast forward one year. I pushed harder, leveled up my craft, and created a commissioned piece inspired by Cathedral Rock in Sedona—a landscape I had never seen. The result became the "Dawn at Cathedral Rock".
This morning, I got the email:
I’m a Finalist at the Art of the Cup 2025!!!

From broken cups to museum walls. What a year.
