About Me

My work is inspired by the behavior of the body under pressure. Through clay, I explore how the body’s physical sensations correspond to emotional states. I work with clay because it is a reciprocal exchange of touch; my flesh and the clay body respond in dialogue towards mutual self-discovery. Together, we navigate an exploration of vulnerability, anxiety, and discomfort. The material acts as a processing tool and the sculpture is the product.

I teach because I want to share the magic of making art to people that need it the most. My teaching approach is to use clay as a tool to help explore, understand, and express social-emotional learning and literacy.
