Artist statement
I make art about what I feel and what I remember, acting as both a tool for release and to reach understanding, both for myself and others. Sourcing my material from the deep pains in my chest, my works feel to me like pearls removed from oysters: something shiny birthed of great discomfort. I work in the medium I feel suits my concept the best, from ceramic to oil paints. Thus, my process and style vary greatly.
