Artist Statement
As an artist, I have found a way to channel my endless energy into the world of pottery. I'm constantly seeking new inspiration and exploring the many possibilities this craft offers. From materials to process, every detail fascinates me. But what truly captivates me is how pottery breathes life into an artist's story.
Exploring and discovering new methods in pottery is my way of embarking on a never-ending adventure. I've always resisted confining myself to one style because there's just so much to explore.
This is why you'll find a variety in my work. I also find that having this much knowledge inspires others to explore outside their comfort zones in clay. I hope to continue to learn as much as I can within the pottery world, and share it with those who are interested in learning something new.
