Through the lens of landscape, my work explores habitat and the formal properties of drawing, painting, and ceramics. My recent ceramic series, Light Diaries, is a love note to Philadelphia—capturing fleeting moments like sunlight on a row house cornice or the subtle gradient of a morning sky. As a ceramicist, I've learned to embrace the unexpected, allowing each clay painting to balance intention and chance.

As an artist and mother, I've discovered that creativity doesn't pause with parenthood—it transforms. Spending time with my toddler has deepened my understanding of observation, wonder, and the importance of play in art. Motherhood has become another lens through which I view and create my work, adding layers of complexity and tenderness to my artistic practice.

I believe everyone is a maker. My work and teaching aim to guide others in discovering their unique artistic identities, celebrating art as a vehicle for self-expression and connection.
