IN HER OWN WORDS
Ceramics is a perfect fusion of painting and sculpture, color and form. I have been exploring painting through sculpture, creating self-portraits. Always, I have considered my work to be self-portraiture: each piece is a facet of the whole, a sentence in a story. Little by little, the skin is peeled back to reveal the journey of my life.
