Clay is the foundation that my creative expression is built upon. Though my focus has been primarily in the area of functional ceramics, my work has evolved into a more sculptural approach, which incorporates hand blown glass, metal, and wood. Process plays a vital role in my work; therefore I am constantly refining my skills in these mediums in order to learn about their potential. I feel this creates even more interest for the composition as well as the narrative. My goal is to stimulate the viewer by creating a tension between the complexity of the formal qualities and the subject matter. As a female artist of Native American descent, I want to convey the various aspects of my multi-dimensional identity. This is a contradiction I am developing as part of my thesis work.
