Experimental Ceramicist

I discovered ceramics in my sophomore year, and what started as a class quickly became a passion and a new avenue for connection. My time at the wheel is a space for experimentation, testing techniques, exploring color theory, and diving into the chemistry behind glazes. This practice has led me to pursue an independent study where I focus on finding inspiration in my surroundings, trying new formats, and becoming more comfortable and confident at the wheel. Each piece becomes part of an ongoing visual diary, capturing both the process and the growth I’ve experienced in the studio.

In April 2025, my tea set, Irreversible Effects, was selected to be in a statewide competition, IHSAE Juried Art Show, one of Illinois largest and most influential art exhibitions, pictured below.
