Current Work:
Lithified Vessels

These photos show pieces from a collection I am continuing to develop in 2023. I'm giving myself space to expand upon concepts that have been brewing in my imagination for a while.


The clay, calcium carbonate, feldspar, silica, iron oxide, etc that I use to make my pieces are pulverized rocks, but they are unrecognizable as such. So I am coaxing these ceramic materials into resembling their original, rocky selves again. 

I am using the visual language of my local Sky Islands landscapes to convey a bit of what I experienced as I recovered from a traumatic brain injury in 2020. It is difficult to articulate the seismic disruption of 'self' as well as the profound level of healing that followed. It was an unexpected gift, in spite of the challenges.
​


I'm forever grateful for your presence as I allow myself to grow as an artist.
​Thank you for your continued support!
