My decorative arts display social status and reflect a culture’s priorities and values.

Using porcelain slip and glass fiber textile to create large vessels and panels, I am modeling unusual fractured and sculptural surfaces

I create my work through a lens of empowerment to address contemporary issues faced by women.

Through anthropomorphism and symbolism, I can convey emotions and ideas.

I attempt to use a complex set of references from the history of ceramics and to fuse them with contemporary issues.

As a ceramist, I strive to capture these qualities in large thin vessels made of white and black porcelain clay.

I create my pieces with a variety of clays and processes that foster my creative energies.

My interest lies in the prevalence of isolation and disconnection in an increasingly connected world and the impact of loss of intimacy within that space.
