As conscious beings I think many of us have a morbid curiosity towards death and dying. My mother was an end of life care worker, and my grandmother worked in the morgue, so death was never a closed subject. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of people who see living and dying as two separate entities, when in reality- we are all living and dying simultaneously. I wanted a piece that conveyed this better than words could. Something that showed the beauty in both life, and death, and how they are one in the same. I’m not claiming to know anything nobody else does, but I find solace in knowing that no matter what else is out there, I cannot fully die because I AM life. I am the child, the womb, and the mother. We know that energy cannot be made or destroyed. So even when I’m no longer in this body, my life will continue to feed the bees and the flowers and the dirt from which I was born, so that they may live too. We are never fully gone, just taken a different form.

I love everything full of color and life! My background is in the arts, specifically studio art and art history. With an experienced eye for design and color, I love to create work that is visually captivating and unique. I am a graphic designer and painter, but with careful thought they go hand in hand. My art is painted with intent, delivering pieces that I hope give the viewer the comfort of structure, along with the emotional release of abstraction.

Under the soil, or in the shadows is often where brilliant and beautiful things begin. The origin story of ceramics goes something like this: anthropologists believe clay’s unique properties were discovered by smearing wet clay on the inside of a basket to waterproof it, which was then placed over a fire. It became a hard and permanent stone-like shell of the initial vessel. To me, this is not unlike birds building nests, adding clay to strengthen and shape their vessels/architecture.

On my first visit to Mexico I attended a traditional dinner including mariachis, dancers and home cooked food. At the venue this building sat empty. I found it very interesting.
