Statement

My work is grounded in the tradition of studio pottery, and I make pieces meant for daily use. My current body of work pays homage to the historical blue and white ceramics I've loved my whole life. I favor traditional floral motifs, alongside inlaid illustrations drawn from my interest in mythology, folklore, and sacred narratives. I aim to make pots that bring warmth and beauty into people's homes — objects that live in the everyday, not just on display. With each piece, I push myself to refine my craft, making the work both more beautiful and more useful.
