Newsletter

Newsletter is live! I have a special announcement coming soon and subscribers will be the first to hear about it.

Website Update

I’ve expanded my bio, added a section about my skateboarding, and hid some secrets through the site. I’m planning on expanding each section with some new content, and I will most likely add some of my film work to the site in the next few weeks.

12 Shows in 12 Months

I just celebrated completing my 2nd year working with clay and showing my art in 12 shows over the course of 12 months! You can check out more info about the shows on the Past Exhibitions page. Thank you to everyone who attended the shows and the people who invited me to exhibit. I’ve learned so much from this experience and I’m so very proud of my work. There’s a lot more to come so don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter to get updates on future shows!
