Artist Biography

My mixed-media practice serves as a dialogue with myself, using visual metaphors to navigate personal mental health and life’s challenges. Through ceramics and illustration, I externalize emotion, transforming intangible struggles into tangible forms. Each piece becomes a vessel for reflection, allowing me to process the weight of a moment and invite deeper understanding.

Silent Vessel I, II, III

For this group of work I hand-built clay pots with sculpted faces on the surface. I was inspired to make the Silent Vessels by the idea of making functional art.
