As a Christian visual artist, I am inspired by theology and the ways in which art communicates our beliefs about God, others, and our experiences of living as embodied spiritual beings, lovingly made in the image of our Creator.

Through engaging with two of the most foundational materials of our natural world - clay and glass - I create mosaic, stained glass, and ceramic art, using my hands to shape, form, rearrange, and reimagine broken materials into prayerful narratives. Through my art making practice, I am working through the emotions of wholehearted living, creating physical representations of my gratitude, doubts, questions, fears, and joys.

Making and viewing art actively heals, confronts, soothes, protests, reveals, and transforms. It is an act of prayer that invites us to ask hard questions and to cultivate the patience to not settle for simple, incomplete, or false answers.

By creating art, I am looking for, and discovering, small glimmers and surprising bursts of hope in our ordinary days.
