Artist Statement
Porcelain clay and throwing are my preferred medium due the challenges and aesthetics of the final pieces. Themes portrayed within my work reflect my personality and outlook on life. I want the viewer to resonate with the work so that it evokes emotion and communicates nostalgia and memories.
