I am a ceramics artist and educator, creating functional and sculptural work focused on connection, narrative and liminal spaces. Multiple techniques are incorporated when I form my pieces including pinching, coiling, slabs and wheel throwing. I use the clay as a canvas to paint using slips, stains, underglazes and glazes and by building surface and texture, I invite inquiry and curiosity. I initiate a story for the viewer to sit with and connect to, and ultimately experience their own narrative. My functional work explores elevating everyday objects into art pieces while continuing to focus on form and usage. I envision my art as ritual pieces, a tactile meditation and reflection. The impact of place, nature, and home interests me and these influences show up regularly in my art. Simultaneously, I continue to build upon other concepts in my work which include themes of shadow self, collective consciousness, duality, vulnerability, reflection and healing. As an artist, working with clay is a form of connection; connection with the earth, connection with time and space and histories of people before and after me, connection with community and self.
