Artist Statement:
I have always wanted to
create. Since childhood, the
processes of creation, whether
through dance, painting, home
movies, photography, textiles,
Legos, or clay, have made me
happy, energized me, and
helped me to express myself. I
have long believed art is my
call in life, and have found
ceramic sculpture to be my
medium.
In college I studied
architecture, art, art
history, and graphic design.
Upon graduation, I began a
career as a graphic designer.
Even while working, however, I
knew I wanted to create on my
own. I painted a bit but it
was not until I found a
ceramics studio that I knew I
was home.
I love working with clay: I
love its history (both
mythical and real) and its
amazing versatility. Clay,
being so malleable and supple
in your hands, can absorb any
information given to it and,
by its very nature, preserve
itself for millennia.
I would like to share my
current process for creating
most of my pieces. I begin my
figures with an idea in mind
but I am ultimately led by the
nature of the clay and my
subconscious. In the end, a
figure may be startlingly
different from my original
conception.
