I am a craft-based sculptor and printmaker based
in Oakland, California. My work explores
ecological themes and our relationship with our
wildlands and their inhabitants. I’m interested in
meditating on the aesthetic and subjective
experiences of wildlife & wildlands through sculpture that plays with absurd or unusual use of
materials and scale. What can the embodied
experience of making tell us about our wildlands
that science cannot?
My work is deeply rooted in Craft; it is important to me that the work of my hands is visible in every piece. Perfection is not something I am for. Your tactile experience with the object I make is much more important to me. My work is meant to be touched.

PROJECT
Poppies
Wheel-thrown Porcelain (Soda / Gas fired) on Stainless steel
Installation size is variable, 36in tall
DESCRIPTION
My poppy sculptures explore the connection between fragile yet resilient ecosystems and the delicate yet permanent nature of ceramics. Each hand-crafted piece reflects the poppy’s vulnerability and endurance, capturing organic form and texture while translating fleeting natural systems into lasting sculptural form.
