Artist Statement

At Studio Fifth Sunday, our creative work often starts in the studio—at the wheel or the canvas.

For me, pottery is the most freeing part of that process. It’s physical, instinctive, and rooted in repetition. Clay allows for rhythm and release—each piece shaped more by feel than by plan.

Painting, on the other hand, is where I find structure. I approach it with more restraint—more editing, more control. The tension between the two practices keeps me balanced. One lets me let go; the other sharpens my eye. Together, they inform how we think about objects, materials, and the emotional weight they carry within a space.
