I create art to survive. To escape life and drop into a dreamland of flow into the unconscious. My objects reveal themselves to me.

Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mostly in nature, through its textures, growth, and cycles. I also draw from museums, paintings, and flea markets, where objects carry history and human touch. Dreams influence my work as well, often leaving behind images and feelings that stay with me and shape what I make.
What would you do with $25,000?If I received $25,000, I would invest it in my ceramics practice. I would improve my studio setup, including tools, materials, and possibly a kiln, so I can work more consistently. I would also use part of it for workshops or residencies to grow my skills and practice. In addition, I would donate a percentage to nonprofits that work to protect and restore the planet. The rest would allow me the time and stability to focus fully on developing my work.
