"Art is a manifestation of emotion, and emotion speaks a language that all may understand."
-William Sommerset Maugham
When I look at art, I find I’m most drawn to the work that is done with the intent to engage the viewer in a deeply emotional way. I have tried to emulate that in my own work. My hope is that when my art is viewed, it will evoke a connection and a desire to pick it up, turn it around, and hold it. It should connect with the viewer on an emotional level. Ceramics are amazing in that they are one of the only art mediums where physical contact is not only acceptable but encouraged. It is hard to fully appreciate a piece of ceramic artwork without having that tactile experience with the piece. Of course, this means that there is a risk of dropping it, but it is better for it to break into a thousand pieces while creating a connection with a viewer than for it to collect dust on a shelf.
Each of my pieces are made with a true sense of passion and dedication. Add my art anywhere you want to bring in a message of love and hope.
