Movement in Mud

Since reconnecting with the world of ceramics in 2021, I've been deeply immersed in finding my voice in clay.

Transitioning from a career in high-end jewelry in San Francisco, I’ve melded my love of tactile experiences with a desperate need for the creative process, discovering that clay sings.

I am most excited about my current sculptural works, which express what I cannot in words. They are hand-built pieces crafted of stoneware, frozen in movement, that invite curiosity and crave touch.

Each piece is a conversation with the clay until we come to an understanding. The process is arduous yet playful. The clay and I become closer, developing a discourse that varies each time. There are always new revelations and lovely surprises as I navigate this intimate relationship.

Central to my exploration is the human experience of touch, playfulness, and intimacy — themes I am committed to unfold.
