Artist Statement
My work as a ceramic artist reflects my deep appreciation of nature and uses natural forms to express narrative and emotion. Each piece frames human experience through the lens of nature. Elaborate design are achieved through the use of both sgrafftio (carving) and mishima (inlay), utilizing stoneware, porcelain and paperclay. It is my hope that these objects resonate and evoke an emotional response.
