“Working in this medium is a kind of creative meditation, and the synergy of grounded calm and inspired energy I feel becomes part of each piece I make, my unique mark, and my gift of alchemical magic to each recipient”

“I am energized by the hands in the earth sensation, a slow process of creating that allows me to connect and commune internally where a dialogue is recorded in a 3D sculptural form with clay.
My art practice has become an outlet to vent my emotive reactions to social and political events. My ceramic sculptures incorporate the use of earth’s elements, and finished with intentional meditative and ritual practices. Each sculpture or vessel is meant to stimulate the senses, and provoke emotions. I look at my ceramic sculptures as a visual language made up of tangible objects and vessels that take up space and share a message in the same way words are written in stories, sung in songs, and shouted in protests”

FEMME SOLE
What does Femme Sole mean?
“For me the significance of “Femme Sole” amplifies the existence of Womxn owned businesses. Each Femme Sole ceramic piece encapsulates the vitality and spirit of the brave individuals who confront the ongoing struggle for peace, engaging in a relentless fight against violence and oppression directed towards the vulnerable, including Womxn, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities.”
