My Story
From a high school ceramics class to a lifelong passion, my journey with clay has been a challenging one. It is a road mixed with excitement, disappointment balanced with skills and techniques yet to learn. The only constant was a love for clay and the ability to express myself, beliefs, my culture and struggles. I wasn’t born with the natural ability to paint, color, use metal or glass as a medium to express myself.
It began during my sophomore year, a quiet joy that continued to ground me through the whirlwind of college life. Classes, jobs and life came and went, but ceramics was always there. What happened next? Life happened. Promotions at work, relationships, other interests pulled me away. “A flame diminished is not as flame extinguished”. Are you still doing ceramics? That question came from 2 of my biggest advocates, Grandma Jean and Auntie Stephanie. Soon thereafter my seven-year sabbatical came to an end. No clay had touched my hands, yet the irresistible pull of the wheel called me back.
The truth is, the passion for creating was always there. For years, I held ceramics as a cherished hobby, fearing that pursuing it as anything more would diminish its joy and its special place ruined. But now, I'm ready to embrace that dream. I'm excited to share my ceramic work with you the world, bringing the pieces born from this rediscovered love to a greater audience with the anticipation of a kid waiting on Christmas Eve.
