Julie is always doing something. When she's not making something or working on her business, she's running—sometimes as far as fifty to a hundred miles. Recently I made some photos her while she worked on her pottery. As I photographed her, I noticed her settling down. Her usually “revved up” energy shifted noticeably, becoming serene.

These photos capture the calm energy of a creator in the flow of the moment, documenting the context and the creative process that she locks into while she transforms wet clay into art.
