My work focuses on the awareness of humanity’s relationship with the world. I find inspiration in nature’s small details and how our interactions shape our environment. Juxtaposing natural elements, plants, animals, and manmade objects comprise the imagery of my narrative. Animals are used to symbolize aspects of human nature, while manmade objects represent negative impacts on our environment

I primarily work in porcelain and employ wheel-throwing, slab and coil building to create sculptural and functional work

My surfaces include sgraffito, carving and glazing techniques to strengthen my narrative The color palette and dichroic glaze convey optimistic and ethereal qualities The application of glaze emphasizes aspects of carved imagery, while obscuring others Through the combination of these elements, I form a commentary on our environment
