My artistic practice is deeply rooted in my cultural background. I focus primarily on creating functional, everyday ware. I enjoy altering wheel-thrown pieces to craft one-of-a-kind works that balance function and aesthetics. My pottery is characterized by graceful forms and simple, playful decorations in vibrant colors and patterns.
Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, my work has evolved, shaped by the mentors and community that surround me. I find inspiration in the small wonders unique to the region—the smooth, colorful rocks along the shores; the luminous green forests blanketed in moss during winter; the glorious summer sunsets; the lively tide pools teeming with creatures; the ever-present mountains; and the many bodies of water in their multitude of forms.
