Nature has always had an importance in both my life and my art. Growth and erosion, colors, forms, and patterns that are all found in the natural world are great influences in the work I make. Working with my hands to directly inform, sculpt, build, and create my work gives me a physical connection to the natural material of clay and this world that it comes from.

Through my work I create an environment that welcomes viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty and peacefulness that I feel when in nature.
