Bio

Currently I'm an undergraduate at kcai (Kansas city art institute) where I'm studying the clay process and exploring forms and glaze chemistry. With the end goal of achieving my BFA (bachelor in fine arts) as well as paving a path for a career, and a after school what's next plan i hope to build myself for success. With active experiences in participating in galleries, working in a studio as a lab technician, and experiences in curating a group show, I hope to continue gaining experience and knowledge as I go down this road in ceramics.

    I plan to create a positive impact by helping to build my community. In my own experiences I have participated in events where we help high school students decide what's next after graduation and other outreaches to middle schools to share the creative gene. One outreach I help coordinate with shows the importance of documentation and photographing work. Beyond the classroom I participated in community events such as art in the park and whimmydiddle that brought awareness to the art community while helping small businesses. In the future I plan to continue being a part of the community in those ways but also in my own art I plan to bring awareness to the world we live in and how important it is that instead of taking from the planet we should give back and enrich it. By bringing awareness within the community, in turn that community can bring change.
