Growing up with and around animals has influenced my passion for animal conservation. The intent behind my work is to raise awareness about the human effect on wildlife. We have magnificent animals that are facing a variety of dangers to their well-being and overall existence.  I believe that we need to stand together in order to save them. Although my main focus is ceramics, I do have a multidisciplinary approach to my work. I aim to use my work to raise awareness as well as part of the proceeds of the work to directly support organizations that support these causes.
