ARTIST STATEMENT
I create functional and sculptural ceramic pieces that speak to the inner child in all of us. My work is inspired by the boundless creativity of childhood, the cartoons and toys I loved, and the joy I found in bright colors and graphic lines.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the idea of sacred spaces and how different communities define them. To me, joy and play are sacred. I feel a deep responsibility to cultivate joy through my work—especially in a world filled with grief. My pieces aim to blend silliness with sacredness, creating spaces where joy is both felt and shared.
Connection is at the heart of being human, and my sculptural work celebrates the sweetness and kindness in our relationships. Growing up in San Francisco, I was surrounded by bold, diverse, and accessible art, which continues to influence my practice.
Looking ahead, I plan to explore a broader range of emotions in my work and create large-scale public pieces that bring these ideas to life in new spaces.
