ARTIST STATEMENT

This series, Ancestral Reverie, utilizes the unique effects of illustrating with glaze on ceramic wall forms to create abstract landscapes, imbued with an eerie and haunting allure. Many draw inspiration from my childhood near the swamps of the Big Thicket, echoing memories of the land that built me. Ethereal shapes emerge within these landscapes, serving as a bridge to our ancestral past and the indigenous inhabitants who once traversed these lands. This tribute to those who preceded us features the sun or moon presiding over the horizon, becoming an enduring connection to history and a visual thread weaving through our collective landscapes.
