ARTIST STATEMENT

My work calls attention to the beauty of nature that often goes unnoticed, particularly petals, stems, plants, and other elements of nature which continuously fuel my inspiration. I use underglaze trailing and painting techniques on functional and sculptural ceramics. As an immigrant in a foreign land, I find a sense of belonging in nature. Letting my imagination guide my use of plants and petals in my work, as I bring that joy into others' everyday rituals.
