Climate Warrior,  terracotta, 20 x 18 x 8 in., 2019

I am deeply interested in the context of our human lives – the historical, economic, social and cultural forces that have come together to craft our contemporary moment. I spend much of my free time researching history. Naturally, archaic ideas and untold stories find their way into all of my art.

I primarily work in two mediums: ink on paper and ceramic sculpture. I recently invented a hibiscus ink that has transformed my historical illustrations into something luminous. The ceramic sculptures in the “Monuments to the Might Have Been” series reimagine the history of the Americas, through urban monuments.
