More About Me
How do you hope people feel when they engage with your art?
I hope people smile, laugh, question what they are looking at!
Tell us about your art studio.
I am a member of the Castle Clay Artists (Denver ceramics co-op) and I have a small personal studio space that is the first studio space I have ever had that is just mine and I am so grateful and happy to have a space alongside other ceramic artists who are so talented, knowledgeable, and supportive.
Why do you create?
I love art and I love clay! I have always used art as an outlet for creative exploration, meditation, escape. I have been creating monsters and creatures my entire life.
