As an artist, I am dedicated to creating functional pottery that serves a purpose in everyday life. I am particularly drawn to crafting cups, planters, and bowls, as I believe that these items are essential to any household.

Working with clay is an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I love the way it allows me to push beyond my comfort zone and experiment with different forms and shapes. When Im working on the wheel, Im always surprised by the final product, as clay has a mind of its own and often doesnt turn out the way I had envisioned. The glazing process also has a rewarding ending. Glazing consists of different reactions when exposed to high temperatures and even the same glaze can come out differently every time. Yet, this unpredictability is part of what attracts me to the medium.

Clay is soft and malleable, and it responds to our touch in a way that few other materials do. When introduced to heat, it transforms into something strong and sturdy, capable of withstanding the rigors of everyday use. This transformation is fascinating to me, and it inspires me to create pieces that are both beautiful and practical.
