Artist Statement

My work incorporates narrative imagery, playful humor, and bright color on ceramic forms to invite connection and impart joy. The pieces themselves are often functional or made for the wall, intended to become part of a home where they can be seen and engaged with often. By having illustrations that wrap around three dimensional forms, I create a process of discovery, as one must turn the piece in their hands to unfold its full story. Nature and everyday moments inspire me, and animals often take center stage. I love the direct connection we make with images of animals and that anyone can see themselves in these characters. I seek balance in my work, wanting the pieces to feel both niche and relatable, to express joy with a touch of poignancy or playfulness with an edge of carefulness. I aim to highlight small moments and memories, and capture a sense of place, emotional truth, and wonder.
