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!

Where's Waldo Vase






This vase is about 30" tall and very big around, coil built by hand then painted in underglazes and fired with a clear gloss over it. It took probably 150 hours to complete.
I was exploring the concept of the narrative vase, and where's waldo uses lots of little narratives all over using purely visual language (not tied to a verbal story).
Waldo is hiding under the lip of the vase, with a bunch of mermaids.
The piece was at the front of the University of Tennessee Honors show, 2010. A great privilege.
