Welcome to my creative journey—where passion for education, creativity, and artistic excellence converge. I blend imaginative thinking with dedicated teaching practices to inspire and empower the next generation.
Artist Statement
My practice explores fragility, transformation, and the tension between beauty and unease. Working across ceramics, performance, painting, and printmaking, I am drawn to materials that hold both vulnerability and resistance.
I am interested in the quiet spaces between growth and erosion, comfort and discomfort — the moment when something familiar becomes subtly unsettling. Softness can turn uncanny; delicacy can reveal strength.
Process is central to my work. Repetition, layering, and casting become meditative gestures that hold memory and time. I allow materials to guide the outcome, embracing unpredictability as part of the narrative.
My work exists between the poetic and the unsettling, inviting stillness, close attention, and reflection.
