A Haint of Blue, 16” x 13”, 2025. Unfired clay, Canvas
These woven ceramic baskets are both a mental and physical feat of artistry. The use of unfired clay allows for these objects to be shown as ephemeral works of art that may at any time return to the earth. The basket is extremely fragile, but retains enough strength for the unfired clay to be moved and presented.

A Different Kind of Work: Bullets, Rods, and Leaves, 6 ’ x 4 ’, 2025. Paper given as a gift
First and foremost, I would like to thank my professor from North Carolina, who gifted me this paper. He truly believed in me in a way I would not be able to believe in myself for years to come.
“A Different Kind of Work: Bullets, Rods, and Leaves is a reflection on how the physical aspects of remembering are both at once an unintelligible, yet tangible experience throughout our lives. These sheets of paper meet together at their edges. The edges meet only to expand past their own boundaries
Symbols of rope, bullets, used welding rods, dogwood flowers, jewelweed, and crab apple blossoms. Portray a story of myself and the community that has shaped me.
Women’s Work, 9 1/2” x 6”, 2024. Collage
