Assistant Professor, Art and Art History
I am ceramic artist and teach all the ceramics and sculpture classes in the Art and Art History Department. I am interested in how the arts can build community and create opportunities to learn from one another, to look closely, reflect, and discover connections and new perspectives.
I have worked with clay for most of my life, and love sharing my passion with ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s and others. My own work begins on a potter’s wheel, thrown objects (such as bowls and cylinders) are my starting point—They ground me in the tradition of functional wheel work. Through the process of throwing, altering and abstracting these familiar forms, I re-imagine and reinvent the shapes and the spaces they inhabit.
