My pottery is influenced by My love of nature and vintage items. I often texturize leather hard clay by pressing real leaves or doilies into the clay. My latest and most popular venture is my Hiker Mugs on which I draw a customized hiker onto a carved mountain scene. I hand build my mugs and most other items lending unique characteristics that aren’t seen in wheel thrown pottery.
Living in Knoxville has afforded me the opportunity to work on fashion and design projects, real estate, commercial promos, interior and architectural shoots, artistic shows, weddings and events, and global product photography. Knoxville is more progressive and innovative each year, and it is a privilege to help showcase so many wonderful businesses and clients.
The last couple years has been a whirlwind meeting businesses and companies in the Knoxville and East TN area. I have been super fortunate to do photography, videography, and aerial drone projects with various government counties, large companies, and small businesses. Whether your business needs event and promo content, head-shots and portraits, food and drink, commercial and residential real estate, video tours and interviews, or design and architecture, I would happy to discuss and create with you.
I create vivid colorful translucent alcohol ink paintings through the application of alcohol ink to aluminum, steel, titanium, copper, and brass sheets. Prior to applying the alcohol ink, texture is added to metal with grinding tools, or a torch is applied to the copper to produce vibrant intricate colors or an "aged" blue green patina is created by chemically treating the copper with salt and ammonia.

Elle Benson is what many would describe as a typical working mother. She’s the one on mute during the conference call, balancing her phone on one shoulder and her toddler in the other arm. One minute she’s researching toddler books starring powerful females, and the next minute she’s helping nonprofit organization build the capacity to achieve their missions.
She doesn’t believe there’s a science to motherhood, but does believe that women need to stop judging others, and, more importantly, themselves. She began studying positive psychology to help people finish the phrase, “I’ll be happy when...” Her desire is to assist others with being happy in the present moment.
