From the Artist:

“I have been captivated by clay—it’s textures, colors and the endless possibilities for creation it offers—since my very first experience working with the medium. There is something essentially magical and spiritual about clay and this is what continues to inspire me in my artistry. 

I began my artistic journey with clay in ceramics, creating functional and non-functional pieces on the wheel. I moved onto coiled and pinched vessels by hand, and this led me to designing and creating abstract pieces in slab. 

I always knew that I wanted more from this medium, but I didn’t know what direction to take. From my drawing classes with live models, I discovered and started to understand the human figure: the beautiful lines, the characteristic features, strength and beauty of the figure. This made me want to sculpt the human figure in clay. By sculpting the figure I realized my path and passion. Thus, I began my true artistic journey—sculpting the human figure. 

The human figure is infinite and as I create these figures, I learn more about them and their dimensions. In my sculptures I am trying to capture the essence of the human figure—it’s strength, quietness, vulnerability and magnificence."
