My art comes through my palms and hands - my vision, and creation moves through my body to the extensions of my fingertips, molding and sculpting clay into form…
Life, in all its perfect imperfection, is the ground of my practice. I mold and shape clay into constructed deconstructions—forms that embody both fracture and wholeness, holding the echoes of memory, ritual, and lived experience.
Stories from the past and present move through my hands, becoming objects that speak of continuity and transformation. Textures and patterns, sometimes imprinted onto the clay, bind the tapestry of life to the surfaces I create. Each work is a meditation on fragility and resilience, a reflection of beauty carried through time.
