About the Artist
I am a ceramic artist working in Greenville, SC. I received a BFA degree from Clemson University in 2005. The following fall I found a studio home at ArtBomb Studios. I am fortunate and blessed to work among this talented, creative, and experimental group of artists. The freedom of this working studio space allows me to explore and play while simultaneously providing access to insight, opinions, and feedback from the other artists. The group has the joy of feeding off each other’s ideas, work, and materials. This studio is like a home to me and this group of artists a second family.
Until 2015, my work most often began with clay forms thrown on the wheel. These forms were playfully altered and frequently joined and stacked together. I enjoy bringing together a variety of materials to my sculptural work including the use of fabric, found objects, and alternative surface treatment.
In 2015, I created a tiny human and became a mother which forever altered my world. I am now mama to four amazing tiny humans. For me, having children meant art-making got paused. I never envisioned this would be my story as a mother artist. However, I am finding my way back to creating. Currently, this means a rediscovery of myself as an artist. I am not sure where this work will lead. Right now, I am simply enjoying making and creating again. However small that might be.
