Artist Statement
My work reflects the weird and the creepy. I am fascinated with the dark side.
In my current body of work, “Odd Things,” I’m using the ceramic medium to create my bizarre creatures. My animals have extra body parts such as multiple arms, legs, teeth and ears. Clay allows me to create what’s in my head. These animals with their small deformities help me express my sensitive side. A bitter childhood and constant “life” anxieties are all expressed in “Odd Things.”
Beautiful and disturbing are terms I hear when people talk about my work and I love that these two terms are not often used together.
