About the artist
My work aims to bring art and imagination into the everyday lives of those who see it. It is the function of art that brings works into everyday interaction and allows us to interact with art and reconnect with the childlike wonder so many of us struggle to find in the mundane. Through my work, I provide enjoyment and wonder to others, and it is through art that we can connect with both the world around us and our imaginations.
I predominantly work in functional and sculptural ceramics and aim to create art that uplifts and brings joy to those interacting with it. The functionality of ceramics and its perception of craft has allowed for the medium to be undervalued for centuries. However, through functional work, art becomes accessible to those who would otherwise be unable to afford art due to its high cost.
