From the artist's website:

I am inspired by the beauty and struggle of the stories we experience, often locating humor in
moments that were once painful or embarrassing. Through color and form, my work dances in a
world of play, deep emotion, and empathy.
I make ceramic objects with layers of narrative imagery built up on the surface. My work is
fueled by thoughts on how our awareness of death propels how we live and is inspired by the
stories we experience and will be remembered by. I reveal characters pulled from personal and
historical mythologies and fairytales and give them an emotion or gesture that you might
connect with; perhaps you recognize an old friend, a past lover or yourself. It is through these
connections and more that I am inspired to create, ultimately to share my own stories, and the
stories that others have generously shared with me.
