In my ceramic art, I replicate the texture and patterns of the natural world. My sculptures resonate with the repetition and modularity characteristic of the modern world, yet also asserts the dignity and individuality of nature.

Over the years, my work has evolved into two very different tracks: one representational and one abstract. Both tracks incorporate my interest in arranging modules to produce sculptures reflecting nature's repeated patterns.

Presently my representational work involves wall-hung ceramic tile. The handmade ceramic tiles are pressed with carefully selected organic found objects. To enhance the natural color of the clay and highlight the imprints, the tiles are once fired in an electric kiln and sealed with beeswax. Similarly, my more abstract work displays wall-hung or balanced ceramic balls. These balls are wheel-thrown and kiln fired before receiving the final surface treatment. They are finished in a sawdust firing which gives each ball a unique carbon imprint from the organic material burned on its surface.

As a ceramic artist, my goal is to create decorative sculpture that communicates my personal relationship with the natural world. I want to invite the viewer to contemplate the minute variations in the patterns and texture of the world.
