About Me

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Tennessee, with a BFA in art. I'm working on my portfolio for graduate school, and these are my projects from undergrad. I'm more a conceptualist than an aesthetician- My artwork is less about image, and more about object. I'm leaning towards minimalism and formalism right now, addressing the basic language of visual communication, like line, plane, color and shading, 2d and 3d. But I've addressed everything from humorous 'what if' animal situations to pottery in my journey as an artist. I hope some of these pieces make you laugh, and some of them make you think, but I really worked really hard on them all!

Ceramics Hand



This is the hand of the witch from Hansel and Gretel, reaching out of the wall to feel your finger to see if you're fat enough to eat yet.
I was experimenting with the idea of the wall as a barrier between this world and another world- a series that didn't really get up off the ground...
It's ceramic, with painted skin and real nail polished nails. It also stands on its end, reaching up, and is excellent for holding things like keys.
It weighs about 60 pounds, so I couldn't hang it on the wall like I planned, but it's still pretty scary! featuring cellulite, calluses, and even warts!
