"Recently, after earning my MFA from Utah State University in Logan Utah I moved to Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg Tennessee to work as a resident artist. I am originally from Kentucky where I studied at Transylvania University and University of Louisville. I have had the opportunity to speak and exhibit nationally and internationally and am continually inspired by the craft community".
Artist statement
I am intrigued by the slow and natural changes that are constantly yet imperceptibly altering our daily environments. How the seemingly permanent is being perpetually altered through the weathering of time. My current work is punctuated by the concept of the inseparable relationship form and surface develops though subtle and progressive erosion. I find inspiration in commonplace items within my surrounding environment. An axe's blade brand new is shiny and crisp, but through use, its actual shape is altered along with gaining a patina from wear. The form and surface become linked and unique to the singular object. It is my intention to utilize atmospheric kilns process techniques to highlight form and surface variations, and reference slow and continuous change.
