About Me.

Artist Statement
My art work in ceramics is multifaceted. I am the combination of a ceramicist, potter, community arts organizer, arts educator and mother. My work is contained in many types of clays, and crosses many categories. I draw my ideas from how time, place and culture intersect with my Mexican/American, Laguna Pueblo and Santa Clara Pueblo background.  It is many parts to the whole.  
My ceramics is an extension of my life and my experiences.  I create from who I am, where I am from and what I am interested in.  I see my work in clay as an interwoven, life-long relationship.  
Since my love for the medium is vast, I find it difficult to choose one clay or way of clay creating.  I make large scale ceramic tile murals collaboratively with an organization that I co-lead and co-founded and with other organizations.  I also create wheel thrown porcelain, functional work that incorporates carved design, photo transfers and underglaze design integrating who I am and where I come from.  Both drive me to be better, more than just visually.
