ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is a negotiation between seemingly contradictory impulses —broad gesture and minute detail. I try to paint ceramics with as free and loose a hand as possible. I aim to imbue my work with a sense of playfulness and ease. I also love intricate details and patterns, however. I relish the meditative aspect of carving hundreds of tiny lines into a piece. My work hangs somewhere in the balance between these two perspectives.
