Past Work
✧.* Bubbles
The Bubbles series is a group of wheel-thrown ceramics that utilize a whimsical pattern to portray the feelings of childhood wonder.
✧.* Cycles
Cycles is a series of acrylic paintings representing the cyclical nature of life and death. The female forms are presented alongside mushrooms- as the human forms decay, the foliage is able to flourish.
✧.* Urns
These are urns I created for myself during my first semester of college. The first represents the death of my childhood, now being an adult. The second, partially opened, is for my adult life.
✧.* Tea Dust
These are two wheel-thrown pieces that are coated in the tea dust glaze that we have in our studio. This is one of my favorite glazes due to the variations in color that appear after firing.
✧.* Ziggy
This is a multimedia portrait of my wonderful cat, Ziggy. It is made with charcoal, a white gel pen, and various alcohol markers.
✧.* Miscellaneous Ceramics
Rainbow Cup
This was an experiment for combining raw clay with matte underglaze and colorful glossy glazes into one cohesive design.
Yokai Majolica
This is a majolica earthenware vessel covered in designs meant to resemble yokai. Yokai are beings and creatures in Japanese folklore/tales/mythos.
✧.* Let Them Eat Cake
This group of paintings is a section of my final project from my painting class. These were the jumping off point for my current artistic focus.
✧.* Cardboard Skin Cake
This is a cake that I made to look like skin stretched and stitched around muscles and veins. The entire piece is made using corrugated cardboard and hot glue.
✧.* Saccharine
This piece is a trio of cakes containing various body parts. The cakes are interactive and viewers are invited to open and close them in order to see their grotesque insides.
