Artist Statement:

My recent works consist of paintings, drawings, ceramic and glass sculptures, and short videos. The subjects are a combination of figure and landscape, along with several clay objects designed for ritual use. These 3D works represent my current skill-building in the areas of ceramic and glass, and a push to expand my oeuvre beyond the painting and drawing with which I am comfortable.
