Oprah recently did a podcast on the topic of adult children choosing "no contact" with family members. I didn't listen to the episode, but in clips I felt that sometimes the language used focused on parents being "estranged" from children; as if the child was upsetting the family dynamic.

Talking with Greg about the process of making in ceramics and the parallels between the process in this medium and the obscure medieval practice of alchemy.

Successful opening last night! Thanks to everyone who came!

Another fantastic clip from my conversation with Greg! As queer/lgbtq individuals, we have the opportunity to build a better world through the ways we engage with our dreams. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to discuss my creative and academic work in such a connected way.

A few final touches, but we’re here !!!

It’s install day!

Yesterday I had a lovely conversation with Greg from The Ganymede Project on IG, here’s a clip where we talk about the way art can help us to relate to and negotiate with parts of ourselves. You can see more of this work at my upcoming show, “Exploring the Ground of Being” from 11/14/25-1/5/26.

Happening this morning! 🌞👹

Proud to be a New Yorker tonight 🙏

Repost from IG: *Saturday, November 8th at 9:30am EST* I'm doing an IG Live with @theganymedeproject (www.instagram.com/theganymedep...) about my upcoming exhibition at Columbia University, “showcasing the intersection of group dream work and a tactile approach to active imagination with ceramics.”

Applied for graduation this week! Now I just have to finish the last two big papers!

WFH on a rainy day! ☔

Thankful to live up here near the Cloisters

I’ve been a little quiet here lately… it’s my final semester and there’s so much going on: 1. Thesis Research/Writing 2. Final Class: Psychotherapy with Children 3. Solo Show: “Exploring the Ground of Being: Ceramics and Depth Psychology” …not to mention my full time job! All good stuff, but a lot!

Same girl lol

I’m hiring a TPM for my team at TC. Looking for folks who are excited about getting to know our constituents and serving their needs through technology! If you or someone you know might be interested, please get in touch!

This past weekend I gifted myself a special soda ceramics firing upstate at Oki Doki! It was so wonderful to experience soda firing ceramics for the first time and see how this treated my usual forms.

Glazing pieces for a soda firing this weekend! Anyone else like my glazing notes guide??

Having fun exploring my ceramic works in other mediums! Drawing monsters:

Kiln Reveal never felt so good... and my morning coffee never tasted so good! "Monster Mask 19," Porcelain with a Copper Red Glaze #ceramics #porcelain

Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine. - #CarlJung

I mean… they’re not wrong

Get up babe, it’s research proposal writing season 📝🧑🏻‍💻

My monster sculpture lost a horn while being loaded into the kiln. Last night I made a new one. These will be fired separately, but we’ll get his lost horn on after glaze firing! #ceramics

Getting to the end of the semester… monsters free standing and monsters emerging from the ground:

What do you do when family members claim they are “loving you the best way they know how,” but it translates to “this is how *I* want to love you?” I am reminded of bell hooks’ definition of love:"the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.”

Someone today told me this looks like Dugtrio #ceramics #pokemon #stoneware

This piece has been living in my mind for almost a year. I’ve been noticing this electrical box on my walks in the park near home. Today I finished construction with sculpture clay.

This past weekend I exhibited a couple of my ceramics works from the last year or so.

Opening night for “Becoming Embodied,” where I showed a couple of pieces as part of a group show in Brooklyn!

I’m ready for big ol’ swig of mead from my unicorn goblet. 🦄

Monsters are going to be available at a group show this week! I’m so happy to be showing this work that speaks to the parts of us that are unconscious and upside down… they may feel monstrous, but they are part of us and have a function in “becoming embodied.” July 17-19 220 Bogart St, Brooklyn

I was thinking just this when reading “The Arts and the Creation of Mind” by Elliot Eisner: “A culture populated by a people whose imagination is impoverished has a static future. In such a culture there will be little change because there will be little sense of possibility.”

My newest lizard has something to say.

Going out for NYC Pride 🏳️‍🌈

This weekend I applied to a couple of artist residencies. I am very conscious of the timing of this effort. It could be that the application processes allow me to have a fantasy of my future that’s full of creativity and making.

Long time no see!

Sharing a little bit about my porcelain Lizard Urn! #ceramics

Good morning to you! Having my first cup of coffee in one of my monster cups! 👹

Sunday Reading: Beauty Is a Basic Service by Maria Fee “Through liberating labors, Gates and the Black American church present an integrated worldview where activities of restoration are designated as soul works-spiritual endeavors that seek to emancipate creation's full potential.” (1/2)

Finished watching this today (it’s long-at 3 hours, I watched it over a couple of days)… but I am struck by the hope infused in such a challenging topic. Yes, change requires that we look at our beliefs and our systems, but it can be a place of autonomy, creativity and peace.

Been thinking about how the “magicians” of our time are those who are able to leverage systems at scale. It is seemingly by magic that an individual can have their image on thousands of screens at one time, or how a small team of software developers can build something used by millions.
