The awe you get from flipping a rock over to reveal shells, crawfish, or something you may never have seen before.That is the feeling I draw from in my practice.

 My current ceramic work depicts lifeforms that may be considered “minecule” in their natural states at a larger scale through installations made using volume and repetition to their advantage.

Through ceramic vessels and non-functional ceramic forms, I aim to create a connection between the viewer and nature regardless of their proximity to it. Though my primary love of the natural world is the ocean, I encourage viewers to consider the organic beauty that surrounds them - it may be as close as a snail in a crack in the sidewalk, or in the abundance of “small” life in the green spaces nearest to them.
