I am a sculpture student at Savannah College of Art and Design whose work focuses on emotional, raw ceramic figure sculpture influenced by the expressive intensity of Auguste Rodin. Raised in the landscapes of New Mexico, I developed a strong connection to the natural environment early on, and that relationship continues to shape the way I approach form, texture, and the human figure. The deserts, rock formations, and open spaces of the Southwest taught me to see sculpture as a kind of language — something physical that can hold memory, emotion, and tension without needing words.

My sculptures often explore vulnerability, movement, and the imperfect nature of the body. Working primarily in ceramics, I leave evidence of the making process visible through rough surfaces, fingerprints, cracks, and expressive modeling. Inspired by Rodin’s ability to capture psychological depth and emotion, I aim to create figures that feel human, unfinished, and emotionally immediate rather than polished or idealized.

Currently studying in Atlanta, I continue to develop work that combines classical influence with personal experience, using sculpture to communicate emotional states and the relationship between people and the environments that shape them.
