My Story
As an artist, my work is shaped by my unique experiences and perspectives. As a neurodivergent individual, I see the world in a way that is often outside the mainstream. I am passionate about creating sensory-friendly spaces that allow individuals of all neurotypes to enjoy and engage with art.
During the pandemic, I discovered ceramics as a way to express myself and explore new artistic avenues. The tactile nature of the medium, the way the clay feels in my hands, is both calming and invigorating.
With a family to care for, which includes my loving spouse, two children, a golden retriever, a cat, and an axolotl, I made the decision to go back to school and pursue a degree in art. It was a challenging choice, but one that I knew would allow me to fully explore my artistic passions and share my work with others.
As an artist, I am constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible, both in terms of my medium and the themes I explore. I am passionate about creating art that speaks to the human experience and allows viewers to connect with their emotions in a deep and meaningful way.
