Artist Statement

My artistic practice explores the interconnectedness of life and death in nature, filtered through the lens of quiet observation and emotional nuance. My work ranges from large-scale sculptural ceramics to small floral prints. My focus is a multidisciplinary practice grounded in ceramics, textiles, and printmaking. 

​

Drawing inspiration from traditions of quilting and lace-making, I infuse my ceramic works with a textile sensibility: an attention to detail, softness, repetition, and care. These influences allow me to explore femininity not just as subject matter, but as process — slow, deliberate, and emotionally charged. My practice honors the quiet labor of making, the rhythm of hands at work, and the space this creates for reflection.

​

Themes of mortality, decay, and regeneration are central to my work, but are joined by an appreciation for the mundane: the everyday moments that make up a life, easily overlooked but emotionally potent. Through visual poetry and intricate mark-making, I document feelings and fleeting thoughts, creating a space where the intimate becomes monumental.

​

Ultimately, I aim to offer work that invites viewers to slow down and feel — not just the heaviness of death or the serenity of nature, but also the small, ambiguous moments of living. My practice is a space for vulnerability, where the emotional weight of existence is held with softness and care.
