I am a D.C. based sculptor working in clay, depicting the fragility of human systems in the face of rising sea levels and climate change.  My journey in clay has been deeply influenced by my observation of environmental change and the urgent need for climate action.

I have just completed a post baccalaureate program in sculpture from UMass Dartmouth, where I honed my sculptural vision, building  a solid foundation for creating work that is not only aesthetically compelling but thematically resonant.

This work has been showcased in several collections and exhibitions, earning acclaim for their unique form and surface treatment.

Each piece is meticulously hand built with a groggy stoneware, fired multiple times at varying temperatures. The surfaces that result reference the worn and battled surface of the debris created by rising seas and its journey.

Both beautiful and sad, I hope my work inspires action and provokes thought, urging the viewer to reflect on their own impact on the planet.
