Artist Statement

I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with different mediums, and for the past three years, I’ve been exploring ceramics with a focus on simple, functional forms. I am also the owner and creator of Cottonwood Cards, an Etsy shop selling handmade cards and paper goods. Across both mediums, I love how handmade objects can elevate everyday rituals, bringing warmth and joy to simple moments and those who use them.

I see my work as a curator as its own creative challenge—each exhibition is like a visual puzzle, bringing works together into a cohesive narrative while giving each artwork space to be seen and appreciated on its own.
