Throughout the development of my art, I have found myself focusing on the experiences of people in terms of relationships. I use a range of mediums to represent interaction and exploration between others. From the way people wish for others to view themselves to how interactions happen throughout the day, people provide constant inspiration in my work. The discovery of how humans are so delicately intertwined provides me with ideas. I enjoy making charcoal portraits, pottery for daily use, and investigations of relationships between people through three dimensional mediums. 

My current string series focuses on the interactions between people through the course of a day. Using a variety of formats, the narrative of a continuation of a single color or group of colors represents the flow of time. Whether flipping through a handmade book or scanning a horizontal wooden platform, this series investigates the complex relationships and movements of people. These characters are represented as colors. The goal of this series is to investigate color relationships that appear visually appealing and contrasting. 

Drawing portraits from photographs provides the constant challenge of putting life back into something stagnant. From the moment that I am handed a photograph, the study of a life begins. I am fascinated with the way people choose to be represented. In every detail I aim to accurately portray a person down to the reflection of light in their eyes. Portraits are by commission only. 

In line with the experiences of people, my pottery is focused on how something feels to the user. In creating pots, I aim to form cups and bowls that not only feel good to use but also appeal to the visual senses through the use of color and texture. A success in my pottery is to create someone’s favorite functional bowl or mug.  I believe that handmade pottery is much more intimate than store bought pieces.  Keeping my throwing lines, knicks, and small imperfections are what makes my work unique.
