With
current US politics attempting to reverse human and women’s rights, I create
art to keep these rights moving forward. Much of my body of work consists of
feminine-inspired forms and objects with strong female content. The colors and
topics are loud but I also work to inject humor into these heavy topics. It is
clear to me that Women’s and Civil Rights have come under heavy fire in the
political realm. I strive to make work that is functional and domestic,
attempting to keep these conversations at the ‘everyday’ level, thereby making
my art more inclusive for multiple audiences, as opposed to limiting it to
specific groups or sites.  Clay is
my material of choice because it is a malleable material that encourages
touching. I am interested in seeing how the soft becomes strong, and I am
pleased with the tactile sensations of the finished projects.
