My work is an exploration of the intersection between painting and ceramics. When I paint, I burn, cut and sew my canvases to create unique texture and depth. Working with clay empowers me to further explore this method of expression.  

I create abstract paintings on clay by forming slabs into a box as a canvas to work with. Creating my own canvas shapes leads to endless undiscovered possibilities. Pressing and tearing the slabs of clay and then forcing them back together creates different textures, allowing the scars of the damage to show in the final product. In life, scars often carry deep personal meaning. Similarly, in my art, I celebrate the uniqueness of the scars.  Furthermore, alternative firing methods, underglazes, slips and different glazing techniques bring additional layers to my surfaces.  Each piece I create is truly one-of-a-kind, and all of my work synergizes the beauty of multiple artistic methods.  

My creations invite each viewer to interact with art that is singularly individual in its expression.
