Artist statement

I delve into issues facing women and marginalized people through art. I use ceramics to explore my own experience or stories of others that might be overlooked. I am interested in exploring compassion. This piece, Beauty in the Broken, comes from my own experience of being tired…as a mother, as a spouse, as an empath, as a person surviving a pandemic, as an American living in a politically divided landscape. Although I am tired, I also acknowledge there can be beauty in the struggle. I am reminded of a quote by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross: “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
