My artwork focuses on the body as a vessel and characteristics of the human body. Travel and exploration have become important facets of my developing body of artwork. Like artist before me, travel is a way in which I engage diverse cultures and, in an integral way, implement those elements of inspiration into my artwork.
My art is influenced by Greek figurative sculpture and elements of folk ceramic pottery. By weave together elements of both cultures, I brought to fruition my humanoid pottery creations. I believe these vessels are a way for me to heal myself from the past and provide a sacred space for reflection. I use clay as a material because of my attraction to it as a natural material and its dexterity.
I join wheel-thrown vessels and human features to create a utilitarian object that presents themselves as an active being rather than stagnates thing.
