My journey into the world of three-dimensional art began early in my life during my Waldorf education. There, I was introduced to the tactile world of sculpting with materials like beeswax, wood, and clay. Later, as I pursued my undergraduate degree in painting and drawing, I expanded my interests by exploring sculpture in various mediums such as wax, clay, plaster, mold making, assemblage, and bronze. It wasn’t until much later, in 2005, that I experienced my first ceramics class in hand building. Recently, in 2021, I finally learned how to throw on the pottery wheel.

Slip Cast Cow Skulls
A Meditation on the Cycle of Life
My process begins by sculpting a cow’s skull in clay, by hand. Once the sculpture is complete, I then proceed to create a plaster mold of the skull, enabling me to produce multiple copies of the form through the slip-casting technique, allowing for consistency in shape and size. Each skull measures approximately 6.5 x 7.25 inches. Lastly, they are adorned with inspired elements of nature through various hand painted or sculpted techniques.
