“ My work features personal narratives, themes of nature, idioms, and a twisted sense of humor. The tactile quality of clay enables me to reconnect and hold on to childlike playfulness and curiosity, to better understand myself, and the world around me. Primarily a sculptor, I also dabble in functionware with rich abstract surfaces.”
