Artist Statement
My ceramic artwork, centered around the theme of ocean awareness, features ocean animals each intricately crafted to capture the beauty and diversity of marine life. Through these sculptures, I aim to convey the delicate balance of our ocean ecosystems and highlight the importance of preserving these precious habitats.
The ocean is not just a vast expanse of water; it is a vibrant world teeming with life and a crucial component of our planet’s health. By bringing these ocean creatures to life in my work, I hope to foster a deeper appreciation for the marine environment and inspire a sense of stewardship in those who view it.
In creating these beautiful ocean animals, my goal is to raise awareness and spark a conversation about the vital role the ocean plays in our lives. Let’s celebrate its beauty, recognize its fragility and commit to preserving it for future generations.
Biography
My journey with clay began during high school in a ceramics class—an experience that ignited my passion for this incredible medium. Although my college days temporarily diverted me from ceramics, my artistic passion remained unchanged. Eventually, the perfect opportunity emerged, prompting me to restart my creative journey by enrolling in pottery classes at my local community center. As my understanding of pottery deepened, I dedicated myself to honing my skills. This pursuit led me to establish a personal studio space at home, where I could immerse myself fully in the craft.
