My journey with ceramics began at UCSD, where I was pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science. I was immediately smitten by the medium. For the next nine years, I immersed myself in the world of clay, exploring its possibilities and falling deeper in love with the craft. I discovered that I love making things, turning my ideas/images into solid form is magical. However, I then took a hiatus to focus on raising my family, only to return to ceramics with renewed passion after the pandemic.
The fluidity of natural forms, the delicate interplay of light and shadow, and the inherent textures that the earth provides all inspire me and my art. My process involves both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. I use natural glazes and earthy tones in my work, to reflect the colors and hues of the landscapes that inspire me and to give us space to appreciate the form and texture of the piece.
