I’m a synesthete who sees and feels color in meditation. For me, color carries emotion, and in my ceramic wall installations, I aim to translate my color impressions into a connected emotional experience for viewers. My practice explores my visual memory of color from meditation and waking moments. After a rare cancer diagnosis and strenuous recovery, my ceramic practice shifted from producing functional vessels to conceptual installations after experiencing color visions during meditation. The emotionally charged, infinite swaths of rich, undulating color and piercing white light I experience in meditation underpin my work. 

Sharing my healing, meditative visions is a core purpose of my creative practice. In translating what I see and feel in meditation, I expand the otherworldly experiences so others can also benefit from the powerful, emotionally charged color, transforming and elevating the viewer's emotional understanding and creating awareness within.

Experimenting with glaze quality, I intricately layer glazes to create color and light variations. Lighter glazes pierce darker ones, reaching the vessel's surface, where ambient light further draws attention. My explorations have led me to investigate new ceramic forms and presentations.
