Artist Statement
As a ceramic artist, my work focuses on the functional object as an instrument for my exploration of fantasy, nature and play. I am drawn to the balance of order and chaos in nature and strive to replicate that by creating delicate, precise shapes enrobed in cascading, unpredictable glazes. I am influenced by the mythology of elves, dragons and the magic that surrounds us. My work echoes those interests and immerses the viewer in an enchanted, verdant forest. Garnishing the work with budding flora allows me to continue adding individual touches of magic to each form, granting them unique personality.
