​I create work to capture both  physicality and dynamism. 
I act upon the clay with passion to create works that memorialize struggle, trial, and triumph. Using the malleability and immediacy inherent to clay I build my work in an uninhibited practice. I want my work to capture an ethos familiar with hardship possessing a dignity and reverence found through a resoluteness to continue.

I have a schooling in the making of functional wares and sculpture and have worked and studied as an artist in such places as Indiana, North Carolina, and Jingdezhen, China. I hold an Associates of Art from Sinclair Community College, a Bachelors of Fine Art from Bowling Green State University, and a Masters of Fine Arts from Indiana University."
