About
I graduated with my BFA in Crafts:Jewelry/Metals/Enameling from Kent State University (Kent, OH) in 2006. While at Kent State, I pursued mutual interests in art and science by minoring in Geology. My work has nearly always been about the connections between science and art.
After two years in the MFA program at Towson University (Towson, MD) I transferred to the program at East Carolina University (Greenville, NC).
This work is driven by a deep personal interest in the science of stones, rocks, geologic process and the shaping of the physical earth. There is spirituality as well as beauty in something so magnificent and so unspectacular as the earth beneath our feet. Rocks, sand, and dirt can convey a sense of sacred space. A stone worn smooth by the tides can be soothing to the soul as well as the hand.
Spirituality dwells in the very act of making. If one is open to it, each part of the creative process can be a step in the long inner journey towards transcendence. Repetitive action becomes meditation; each piece becomes a prayer. This work is a reflection of my own inner journey, a consecration of both the mundane and profound, and my search for transcendence.
