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.
