Born and raised in the scenic landscapes of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, my creative process has always stemmed from my environment. My childhood fascination with art was initially an expression in drawing and painting. It is with a balance of luck and stubborn will that I have been able to pursue art within my education and lifestyle since childhood.

I studied Art Therapy at Naropa University in Boulder, CO from 2017 to 2019, finding my time with higher education coming to a close due to lack of resources and a call to follow my captivation with clay. I found invaluable experiences working at Kentucky MudWorks from 2019-2020, and through apprenticeships with local Colorado potters Mark Rittman and Macy Dorf. From 2021 to 2023, I worked as a ceramics instructor at Glazed Ceramic Studio in Denver, CO.

My work embodies a dialogue between form and function, as well as realms of fantasy and illusion within the natural world that have always been my muse. It's a journey further enriched after being diagnosed with Autism in 2020. In a world that hasn't always felt designed for me, I often find myself more easily able to illustrate my experience through clay than through verbal or social expression. 

As a young artist, I am still finding my voice and style through every piece I make and kiln I fire. I hope to expand into larger sculptural works and experiment with harvesting, processing, and creating with wild clays and locally sourced materials. With the ease and accessibility it provides, I primarily use porcelain and dark clay bodies, firing at cone 6 oxidation or cone 10 gas reduction. In 2024, I did my first community wood firing in Tres Piedras, NM. I hope to continue exploring the world of wood firings in the future as it truly felt like I was experiencing magic firsthand.
