I approach my ceramic work from a place of grounding. Not only is clay of the earth, but it is also uniquely and immediately responsive to all of my physical gestures. From colorful silkscreen prints layered over bold brushstrokes to light scratches stained with underglaze, clay picks up my every move. My current work showcases that relationship in concert with influences and inspirations, including textiles, collage, animals, and our very own backyard.
