Hello

In my work as a ceramic sculptor, I combine found organic items with clay to create works that depict the process of remembering.   Themes of impermanence, dissolution, and ephemerality have a profound effect on me.   Hand-built or coated in layers of porcelain slip, organic substances and family heirlooms are burned onto clay plinths.  All that remains to convey absence after the firing is a changed carapace.My intuitive connection to nature, its delicate ecosystem, its cycles, and my infatuation with capturing the deterioration processes serve as inspiration and motivation for the works I create. My work is a sacred ceremonial practice that aims to awaken society to the significance of death, decay, and rebirth in all living things.

My Story

I moved from Southern California in 2018 to attend graduate school at BSU for my MFA.  I enjoy the beauty of the Sawtooth mountains and hiking, hammocking and camping  here in Idaho.  I immerse myself in the quiet of nature to fuel my practice of creating works with my hands and heart.  I currently reside in Boise and teach workshops and classes out of my home studio.
