As someone who works with a wide range of mediums that are not necessarily fine art, I wonder if I should call myself an artist or something else. I like to blur the line between art and craft, because why shouldn’t craft be considered a piece of artwork? I create unique pieces out of clay that provide a functional use. I make intricate jewelry, one-of-a-kind candles, and weird oddities. I like to explore functionality and how to pair it with art.

Aside from the craft aspect of my practice, I am fascinated with oil paint and its malleability. I have only recently discovered oil paint and that has broadened my painting practice. My paintings center around skyscapes and nature. I am enchanted by capturing the way clouds look with my paint. I am especially captivated by the qualities of fire. A lot of my paintings have subjects of flames and wildfires. I think it has a harrowing beauty and I love to explore different ways and techniques of conveying that in my paintings. I am continually exploring my practice through new mediums, techniques, and subject matter and constantly pushing my boundaries with experimentation.
