My art practice is influenced by the act of “zooming in” whilst in nature, focusing on the creatures that are generally passed by, hidden, or unnoticed. I find that these humble and overlooked creatures, such as frogs and snails, ignite my curiosity and imagination. In addition, I draw on aesthetic aspects from various plant life and fungi to complement the visual and energetic expression of the creature.

By utilizing porcelain clay, I can create delicate sculptures that emphasize the fragility of both the plant and animal. I appreciate the correlation between the strength and resiliency of my materials to the tenacity of these unassuming and fragile creatures. This outlook is the foundation for my sculptural work.
