Lets be Artists / Teracotta Ceramics, Hand Mixed Glaze / 2025

15’’ x 7’’ x 18’’

This piece was developed while I was focusing heavily on the presence of women artists in the world of art. Specifically, the presence of the women artists we will never see or know of due to the discrimination and injustice towards women in the pivotal time of art development and viewing. It's due to the perseverance and strength of those before me, who refused to give up their craft, that I can now freely create art. The form of the piece represents the constant movement and motion of artists throughout the years, and how they continuity to life each other up higher.

Greek Goddess / Terracotta Ceramics / 2024

6.5’’ x 6.5’’ x 11’’

This piece was heavily inspired by the Nike of Samothrace statue at the Louver museum. I wanted to capture the headless unknown feeling that the statue holds. For the body of the vase, I decided to lean into a cartoonish style to contradict the age and weathering of the Nike of Samothrace.

Twins / Terracotta Ceramics / 2025

7.5’’ x 7.5’’ x 14’’

This piece was developed after I watched the growth of a pair of fawns who lived near my home. The two, despite the challenges they faced, grew up with the fortune of having each other by their sides. When one eventually passed away, the other disappeared, and I never saw either of them again. The piece featured the two emerging from the body of the vase, mirroring each other's disappearance.

Half Full / Terracotta Ceramics / 2025

4’’ x 4’’ x 5.5’’

This piece is simple on purpose, allowing the glaze application technique to be better appreciated. I wanted to experiment with these glazes and see how they would contrast and elevate each other in use.

Vessel/Terracotta Ceramics/ 2024

6” x 6” x 8”

This piece was an experiment more with slab building techniques and design. The doodled accents on each side give a sillier appearance, and were unplanned to give a random effect, bringing the viewers eyes to the outside, rather than the contents of the box.

Turtleshell/Terracotta Ceramics/2025

2.5” x 2.5” x 5”

This piece is especially personal in the sense that every detail was self-designed. I hand sculpted the physical base, and had the opportunity to hand mix my own glaze for a completely unique texture and color, giving it a much more individual quality.

Handpicked/Terracotta Ceramics/2025

6.5” x 5” x 7”

This artwork was meant to model the way the hand molds to conform to what its gripping. Its a study that required both my knowledge of coil building and “hand” sculpting.

Chrome Chicken/Terracotta Ceramics/2022

4” x 4” x 6” approx.

This model of a chicken was entirely a relief carving, and a trial of a completely chrome glaze. The reflective surface pulls the chickens surroundings onto itself, making it a direct visual representation of its enviornment.
