I work in mediums of clay, paint, and mixed media. With clay as my main medium, I work both with functional and sculptural forms. I enjoy hand-building as well as throwing clay. I find myself enjoying building with clay and painting on clay the most. Having that background in painting throughout most of my college career allows me to play with color and mark making in my forms. I find a good amount of inspiration in the world of the 2D, focusing on collage, pattern, and repetition. Other 3D inspirations I find are through fabric, botanicals, and the human figure. I try to include a variety of elements throughout my work, with varying color, texture, and overall form. In both ceramics and painting I tend to find myself using a wide range of colors: bold, light, and dark, in hopes of creating high contrast pieces. I also find myself leaning into concepts of duality, whether that be in my content or in the piece visually. I am also interested and have created art with themes of feminism in both ceramics and painting.  

I first started my art career at San Joaquin Delta college, in the town I was raised, Stockton, CA. I had humble beginnings taking my first art class at this college as a biology major. After, I first switched my major to business, and then finally to studio art, where I decided to start my journey as an artist. I eventually transferred to Sacramento State University working arduously to better my skills in both painting and ceramics. At the end of my time at Sacramento State I found myself falling more and more in love with ceramics, focusing on clay as my main medium instead. This past Spring I graduated from Sacramento State with a BFA in Studio Art with concentrations in ceramics and painting. In the future I hope to go into residencies to study and further my work in ceramics and eventually get my MFA in ceramics as a goal to eventually teach.
