i have worked across various mediums as an artist, with ceramics becoming my primary focus in recent years. the meditative tactile challenge of the potter’s wheel led me to concentrate on developing my skills with clay.

 

my challenges with mental and physical health inform my perspective and creative approach. one focus of my practice stems from my experience with an eating disorder. for example, creating functional objects, especially those used for meals, helped shift my mindset around food and consumption.

 

my practice is centered on translating personal experience into physical forms. i channel my emotions into a creative practice as an act of radical self-expression. as someone who feels deeply connected to earth, working with clay feels like a natural calling; the alchemy of a creative practice is as primal and messy as the human experience itself. surrendering to the fluidity of the process, i allow my intuition to guide me, resulting in organic and practical expressions of beauty.

beyond my own artwork, my creative practice includes contributing to my community through art-centered initiatives. i serve as executive director of artists for impact, a non-profit organization that uses the power of art to support social and community goals. we orchestrate a diverse array of events that unite artists and give back to the community. want to get involved? reach out!
