My Story
It all started in 2018, when I took my first ceramics class at the University of Memphis, from first touch I knew this was the medium I wanted to work in. Since then I’ve gained my bachelors degree, worked in a ceramic production studio, participated in over 30 craft fairs, and taught over a hundred students and counting at a community studio. My goal now is to explore and adventure the capability of clay as a vessel to bring people together.
Artist Statement
My work is focused on functional ware for the consumer that produces a sense of adventure and energy by generating an environment where you can escape the worries of your day, even for a moment. In the current climate of hostility and strife, I propose an alternative to the doom and gloom, a paradise. Focusing on the sense of wonder and a laissez faire outlook, I create pieces reminiscent of a mix of Romanticism’s fascination with nature and the sublime and California Junk Art movement’s spontaneity and lack of self-seriousness.
