Artist Statement

I create functional ceramic ware that is meant to serve the inner child in every person. I have been experimenting with playful surface designs and textures and trying new forms and shapes. Letter writing and illustration are also a part of my art practice. The ability of children to create without boundary inspires my work. I seek to bring the energy of art influenced by various childhoods into functional dish-ware and illustration. Bringing as much joy and silliness as possible into the world is my prerogative. The healing power that creating with clay can foster has led me to want to bring more people into the clay world.
