Each sculpture begins with curiosity, usually sparked by a shape, a texture, or a feeling I want to explore. Working by hand, I build slowly using coil building and pinch pot techniques, allowing the form to develop gradually rather than forcing it into a predetermined outcome.

There is a rhythm to working this way. Building, refining, adjusting, and responding to what the clay reveals along the way. The material has its own character, and part of the process is learning when to guide it and when to allow it to lead.

As the form grows, details begin to emerge through touch and repetition. Texture, movement, and small imperfections become part of the story of the piece, reflecting the process of its creation.

Each sculpture is shaped through a balance of intention and intuition, allowing the natural qualities of the clay to remain part of the final piece.
