Artist Statement

Since early childhood I have found great comfort and a sense of self when leaning into creativity and my imagination. The joy I derive from connections with others, food, atmosphere, touch, and laughter deeply influences my work, manifesting as both functional pieces and sensory experiences. The adaptable nature of clay has cultivated patience within me and provided a liberating form of self-expression. A fascination with potential and commitment to intricate details grows over time; my relationship with clay is ever evolving. I should be so lucky to experience this journey with optimism and passion.
