My work shows my appreciation and passion for all the beautiful things in our natural world. I throw cups on the wheel and then use the surface as a canvas to sculpt, carve, and shape the forms and textures that I find appealing in nature like the color and form of flowers, trees, bugs, and other living organisms.听 I use underglazes to transfer images onto the surface and celadon glazes to effectively display the depth in the carving and sculpture. The mediums and processes I use are important to my work because they are what enables me to create the look and feel of the things I am emulating from nature. I am interested in the relationship between the earthly medium of clay that can be transformed into something beautiful and functional.听 Plants and creatures are beautiful, but they serve a听 purpose in the world.听 Because the beauty found in nature is the biggest inspiration to my work, I wanted this body of work to display the magnificence of our environment and all of the things in it.听
