ABOUT THE ARTIST
My inspiration comes from the storybooks and comic strips I loved as a kid. My first exposure to art was through those simple line drawings, often in just two or three colors, where each frame had to capture a big part of the story. I see my sculptures as illustrations too—just in three dimensions.
The colors I use are tied to my childhood: the yellow comes from my mom’s Ford Pinto, and the avocado green is the color of the fridge in the house I grew up in. I age my pieces with underglaze washes to give them the feel of objects from a forgotten time—comfortable and familiar, like they’ve always been a part of the past.
ABOUT THE ART
I create figure sculptures from kiln-fired paper clay. Each one is hand built and painted in layers of underglaze washes, fired multiple time to give an aged and weathered look.
