About Me

My Artist Statement

Nature is filled with intricate details. From the most delicate patterns in a snowflake, the vast combination of colors in plants and animals, to the tactile textures of tree bark, moss and rocks. There is an infinite collection of material from which to draw inspiration for my art pieces. 

Stoneware has a heavy and solid structure when fired, which gives the sense of stability. The malleability of the clay allows me to create texture using fabrics or organic materials found in nature. This texture is accentuated using complementing colors, to bring a visually pleasing and tactile experience to the user everytime my art is handled.
