As a child of immigrants and a first-generation American, I grew up in a liminal space between cultures attuning to the subtle nuances that shape identity while examining my own. Feeling like I didn’t fit in a specific category instilled a sense of curiosity and a desire to understand the world and its many stories.

This curiosity grew into an appreciation for the richness of different cultures around me. I draw inspiration from their traditions and craftsmanship with a commitment to honor and respect their origins. My work aims to acknowledge and celebrate these stories.

Through art and craft, I’ve found a way to connect to others and to myself. Working with clay offers me a sense of home, a grounding presence that anchors me in my body and the moment. It’s through this tactile dialogue with the material that I’ve discovered healing, community, and a feeling of belonging. The intention of my practice is sharing this connection through every piece I create.
