Statement
My journey began with a desire for independence and an opportunity to experience the world. An initial four-year enlistment with the United States Air Force as an Emergency Medical Technician turned into an amazing 21-year military career.
After the uniform, I was ready to take a seat inside a ceramics studio and get to work. I have begun to unpack so many years of childhood memories and continue to sort through hours of identity, reflection and artistic decisions. My current body of work focuses on the emotions and challenges surrounding my role as a single mother raising a son.
My artistic approach consists of establishing a modest visual language corresponding to a very complicated but rewarding narrative of motherhood. I mine my own experiences, and place them in the context of societal roles and expectations for mothers, and for women. Imagry I use include, flowers and landscape to evoke memories and beauty.
