PROFILE
___________________________________________________________
I am a multidisciplinary artist currently focusing on ceramics and their application in the world of contemporary art. I explore classic functional forms and their use in the modern world. A combination of wheel thrown, altered, and hand built forms can be found throughout my portfolio. Attention to Surface decoration plays a crucial role and a major influence in my work due to my background in printmaking and design. The multitude of processes and techniques I explore are the foundation of my curiosity and desire to continue my understanding of art and its purpose in a modern world.
