I am a ceramicist who specializes in wheel-thrown pottery. My love for the process of using the potter’s wheel to create decorative work is rooted in the transformative nature of clay. The transition from a piece of clay to a durable vessel is a metamorphic journey that is guided by my creative thoughts and hands. I am captivated by the process of throwing on the wheel because it breathes life into a material that would otherwise remain amorphous and stagnant.
My understanding of the process of wheel-throwing strongly influences the work I create. The birth of a particular piece is determined by unique circumstances that I am passionate about and humbly embrace. Upholding this approach to creation has allowed me to use ceramics as an outlet to better understand my own journey and ultimately the journeys of those around me.
