Works

Relationships arise with the items we use for food, drink, and adornment. Having handmade art in your life makes space for pause and reflection as you sip a favorite beverage or wash a bowl after a delicious meal. These objects bring a sense of connection to ourselves and the materials that shape the way we interact with our world.

This is a special connection which shapes the way we experience everyday moments.

Objects and relationships

Creating has always been a crucial part of my relationship to myself. From a young age I gravitated toward the trance-like state that is found in making, focusing inward and connecting mind to body. The passion to create grew from a place of personal retreat and meditation, and has become a medium for connection with others.

I believe that by creating tangible objects that represent a different way of seeing and interacting with the world, we change the narrative of what is real and valuable. In this way, the objects we interact with and surround ourselves with shapes our sense of self. When we include representations of a different narrative in our lives, for example, having body positive art in our living spaces, we weave that narrative into our minds and expel untruths about what is beautiful and normal.

For those who have my work in their homes I hope for them to feel connection with their sense of self, and find moments for authentic relationships both internal and external.
