Artist Statement
Clay has been an instinctive, living presence in my hands since I was four years old. What began as a childhood impulse to shape figures evolved into a lifelong commitment, leading me to a teenage apprenticeship and a formal degree from Ringling College of Art and Design. My path was solidified at age twenty-three during my first museum exhibition at the Ringling Museum of Art, juried by a curator from the Museum of Modern Art. However, my true voice as an artist was forged at the intersection of this formal training and my personal history—a journey deeply marked by family fractures in my youth and sudden, overwhelming seasons of personal loss. Navigating these disruptions taught me about fragility, instability, and the quiet resilience required to put a life back together.
