As a ceramic artist, I blend wheel-thrown and handbuilt forms, often deconstructing and modifying the pieces to create something entirely new. My process is one of transformation, guided by the energy of the moment. I use gestural marks and textured surfaces to impart each work with a sense of movement and depth, capturing the passage of time and the impermanence that defines existence.

Drawing inspiration from nature and universal energy, I am deeply influenced by the philosophies of Japanese Wabi-Sabi and the Abstract Expressionist Movement, particularly the works of Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Cy Twombly, and Peter Voulkos. At the intersection of these influences, my art emerges — prioritizing emotional resonance over conventional beauty and embracing the belief that true beauty arises from organic, unplanned movement and form rather than rigid precision.

Through this fusion of Wabi-Sabi and Abstract Expressionism, I aim to evoke introspection and a deep sense of impermanence. My goal is to create pieces that are not only grounded but also emotionally charged, filled with raw energy that transcends the visual and connects on a deeper, more instinctual level.

For me, ceramics is not merely a medium; it is a form of meditation that connects me to the Earth’s elements and reminds me of our shared interconnectedness. In the quietude of creation, I embrace simplicity, humility, and the profound beauty inherent in imperfection.
