As a ceramicist, I specialize in work that often stimulates the mind and sparks conversation. I would describe my style as abstract, wonky, and colorful. Through my continued interest in artistic collage, I have found ways to incorporate a variety of shapes, lines and textures into my work. 

I am heavily influenced by my upbringing and the people around me. I have said many times that a look into my brain is a look into a time capsule of what it was like to grow up in the early two thousands with indulgent, positively creative parents. As a child, it was rare to see me walking around without a notepad or a sketchbook. I would draw anything from wild stories I had brewed up in my mind to the tissue box on top of my parent’s dresser in their room. The spontaneity of my style is similar to that of a child, a combination of dots, lines and shapes coming together to create a cultivating composition on my ceramic forms. 

As I am working on my senior thesis portfolio, a main interest of mine is finding the tension between bold color palettes and emotive expression of Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism with the process oriented medium of ceramics. Ultimately, my work has become and will continue to go in the direction of geometric and organic shape, interesting and unique form, vivid and stimulating color, and a cultivating variety of texture.
