I am inspired by the beauty and faces of nature. In my work, I capture the true essence of a being, using stunning poses that are fun, yet natural, and often majestic. My pieces are built by hand, primarily using porcelain clay, and constructed with fluidity and balance. Throughout my work, there is a lengthy process of multiple glaze fire tests for each unique glaze pattern used. Through the creation of my animated creatures, I play with expression, emotion, and movement. I love to capture an exact moment in time. I enjoy exploring the state of curiosity, divinity, fear and surprise. Through my creative process, my innovative works exude a dynamic, yet delicate presence; each commanding a unique power of their own.
My passion for the ceramic process began under the influence of Internationally renowned Artist, Kurt Weiser, while taking a class at Arizona State University. I was flooded with euphoria as I began to experiment with various techniques, processes, and types of clay. Over the years, and many firings later, I have found the ultimate bliss is to open the kiln and see, for the first moment, the hours upon hours and layer upon layer of glaze applications come together to form a paragon of color and texture.
My artistic goals include continuing to be inspired on a daily basis, a commitment to learning new processes, and a dedication to sharing my ideas with others through my visual language.
