I am a figurative ceramic sculptor/artist and an emmy award winning graphic designer with a masters degree from Pratt Institute in New York and an MFA (ceramics) from UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.

I use the human female figure or the canine to explore affect, the abject and archetypes. The imagery is meant to stimulate thought and provide a sense of connection by activating the familiar within one’s personal unconscious. I am drawn to issues concerning mortality, isolation, absence and desire. I question systems of belief surrounding gender (e.g. religious patriarchies and cultural standards for beauty) that routinely create and perpetuate personal as well as cultural discord. I intentionally combine elements of attraction with repulsion to represent our struggle with the opposing emotional forces of cognitive dissonance.
