My objective is to encourage appreciation for the interconnectivity I
see in beings and life processes. I am very interested in ethical
reasoning and perplexed by human activity, or inactivity, and how this
correlates to the rest of life. When creating work, I allow my pieces to
encompass my own emotions. I hope to spark feelings of compassion,
sympathy, and joy and to trigger a feeling of intimacy. I have a hopeful
attitude about the future and I want to share this with my audience.

As
a ceramic artist, I am influenced by the natural world. I appreciate
the material’s transformation from water, air and fire, as it reminds me
of my own connection with the earth. My childhood memories of working
with clay are still influential today as I maintain a playful attitude
with my work, both physically and conceptually.
