About

I am Educated in fine art with an interest in sculpture. In 2018 I returned to college to expand my medium with a  BFA  in Ceramics at the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth, MA. I worked with polymer clay for several years before studying ceramics. The transition from polymer clay to ceramics made sense to me and has enabled me to work larger as well as opened more creative doors for me. I am drawn to ceramics for its versatility and ability to help articulate a creative voice.

Born and raised in a small town on the coast of New England my surroundings inspire all of my work. I am inspired by the beauty and symmetry of nature, and the empathetic connection we share with each other and animals. My ancestors are from a small European Island and they thrived by the grace of the ocean. This strong connection to the comfort and mystery of the ocean has really presented itself in my work. As a mom of 4 I am increasingly concerned with the fragility of our planet and its future. I try to depict the beautiful, delicate, and subtle qualities of my surroundings through my sculptures in hopes it will help others to appreciate all that nature provides us. My sculptures have been displayed at local Galleries and Art Museums. I have received a 2018 juror’s choice and member’s choice International Polymer clay award, as well as a first place award in a juried show, and an IFA (Imago Foundation for the Arts) recognition award. Several of my sculptures (as well as acrylic paintings) are in private collections.
