n the summer of 2022, I attended a transformative ceramics workshop at Anderson Ranch in Aspen, Colorado, taught by the incredible artist Paul Briggs. Over two weeks, I created more than 30 vessels using the traditional pinch-pot method, drawing inspiration from Snowmass nature and classical Greek and Roman pottery. This experience introduced ceramics into my studio practice and reshaped the way I think about bringing themes of place, memory, and organic form into my art.
