What I see vs. what I create.
Nature in one frame, pottery in the next.
Where the landscape ends, the clay begins. ✨

🌿 Meet the Maker 🌿
Grace is the co-owner, creator, and ceramicist behind Under the Pines.

Long before i ever touched clay, i was a little girl caught painting on the bark of trees along the outskirts of my family’s land. Drawn to the woods, i would wander with paint-stained hands, returning home with yet another flower painting for my sister or mother whether they asked for one or not.
In many ways, not much has changed.
The same curiosity, wonder, and connection to nature that guided me as a child still shape every piece I create today.
A self-taught ceramicist, I works intuitively, allowing the natural world to lead the way. The forest is my teacher. The clay is my meditation.

Nestled beneath towering pine and oak trees, I run Under the Pines from a small home-based studio alongside my husband, Derick and our sweet pup, Cedar.

When im not working, you’ll likely find me dancing around the house, tending to the garden, or finding new ways to make my beloved husband laugh. These simple moments with hands in the soil, bare feet on the grass, laughter shared with the ones she loves, are woven into y work just as much as the clay itself.
For me, creating is an offering. A conversation between hand, earth, and spirit. A way of transforming what i discovers in the woods, in stillness, and in everyday moments into something that can be held and shared. Immersing myself in nature and giving birth to another piece of art for the world is my innate, God-given love language.
I couldn’t help it if I tried.

Some stories begin in faraway places.
Ours began right outside our front door.

For years, we’ve watched the White Oak,the state tree of Maryland, stand quietly through the seasons.
It has become more than a tree to us.
It has been a reminder of resilience, patience, and the beauty of putting down roots.

As I spent time beneath its branches, God often spoke in little glimmers. Not in grand moments, but in the quiet suspense of falling leaves, and lessons woven into the tree itself. Its deep roots, unseen yet strong enough to carry it through every season.

Like the White Oak, we too have walked through many seasons. Seasons of growth and joy, seasons that stretched us in ways we never expected. And through each one, just like the oak, God was still there.
The oak became a living reminder that even when nothing seems to be happening above the surface, deep roots are still growing below.

This collection was born from those reflections. From looking up. From slowing down. From noticing the beauty and wisdom that God placed in creation all around us.

Today, we’re honored to introduce our State Tree Collection, beginning with the White and Post Oak. Each piece is a small tribute to the landscapes that shape us, the trees that witness our lives, and the stories growing all around us.

And because trees have given us so much, we wanted this collection to give something back. For every product sold from the State Tree Collection, we will donate $1 toward planting trees where they are needed most around the world helping restore forests, support communities, and nurture future generations.

From our front yard to forests across the globe, this collection is rooted in gratitude.

Thank you for being part of the story 🌿🤍

✨ Meet the Maker ✨
Meet Derick — co-owner, creator, and self-taught woodworker behind Under the Pines.

“What started as a love for working with my hands grew into a deep appreciation for the stories hidden within every piece of wood. I believe the beauty of woodworking comes from honoring the material itself—letting the grain, texture, and character of the wood shine rather than trying to change it.

From my home workshop, I create each piece alongside my wife, who shares this journey with me. Together, we’re passionate about slow craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and making things that are built to last. We believe in using honest materials, respecting the land that provides them, and creating with intention rather than excess.
Every piece that leaves our shop carries a story, from where the wood came from to the hands that carefully shaped it. It’s our hope that those stories become part of your home and your own memories.

When I’m not in the shop, you’ll usually find me working on our never-ending home projects, reading Scripture, walking through the garden with my wife to see what’s growing, or spending time outside with our pup. A lot of the inspiration behind my work comes from these simple moments at home and the connection they create with the land around us.”

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’re a new follower, thank you for being part of this journey.
We’re glad you’re here. 🌲
