My Story
Born with a passion for music and art, I spent years crafting my creative voice in Philadelphia and performing frequently in all over the United States before relocating to Denver, CO in 2009 and then again to Crested Butte, CO, in 2014. My early career in music was centered on evoking deep emotions—an ethos that continues to guide my work today. However, the isolation of life in the mountains eventually left me feeling deeply disconnected from my inner artist.
Seeking inspiration, I began taking trips to the desert during the colder months. These journeys awakened something profound within me. Surrounded by vast, raw landscapes, I felt a call to explore my evolution as both an artist and a woman. In 2021, I turned to clay, seeking a tactile, challenging medium to mirror my personal transformation.
Hand-building became my obsession—a way to push creative boundaries and explore ideas that felt deeply rooted in the earth and in myself. One recurring motif in my work is the snake, a symbol of transformation, renewal, and the divine feminine across cultures. Just as the snake sheds its skin, I see my artistic journey as one of continuous shedding and growth, reflecting the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth.
Each piece I create celebrates the enduring history of women who continuously evolve, shedding their old selves to emerge with renewed purpose and clarity.
I am a vessel for this story—a woman shaped by both desert winds and the silent snow covered mountains, finding her voice in every piece of clay she touches.
