Artist Statement
My work consists of various explorations across different media and prompts. At Murray State University, numerous opportunities have been provided to experiment with media such as painting, ceramics, woodworking, and more.
Inspired by artists like Ian Basset, known for creating clay forms that explore diverse glaze patterns, my work often incorporates exaggerated details and intricate forms. A recent example includes a series I made that experimented with different clay forms and combinations of different glazes to create unique bowls that serve as a functional piece as well as a sculptural piece.
Ultimately, the goal is to encourage viewers to embrace new possibilities within their own lives. The work serves as a reminder that experimentation with unfamiliar materials can lead to discoveries about both oneself and the surrounding world.

Description
This collection features a diverse array of works in various media, including ceramics, mixed media, and drawings. Each piece serves a dual purpose: to explore functionality while also refining my artistic skills. The materials and techniques used in these works are a means of honing my craft and expanding my creative vocabulary.
The inspiration behind these pieces comes from a blend of natural and personal themes, such as the intricate forms of sea creatures, the delicate beauty of flowers, and the powerful expressions of femininity. These influences shape both the aesthetic and the deeper meaning within each work, creating a cohesive body of art that reflects my artistic journey and growth.
