I came to clay later in life, drawn to ceramics as a tactile and deeply reflective practice. My work lives at the intersection of exploration and intuition where I move between handbuilding and wheel-throwing, embracing the unpredictability of the material rather than chasing perfection.

Rooted in the somatic experience of making, the studio has become a space of healing and personal insight for me. I draw inspiration from traditional Philippine earthenware to the ornamental porcelain that filled my childhood home. For me, these objects that hold beauty, memory, and cultural identity all at once. These influences shape not just what I make, but also the why behind my making.

I am grateful for the training and mentorship that I received from artists Amanda Pellerin, Isaac Scott, Luis Ivorra, Manuel Mendoza, Vanna Ramirez, Vianney Paul, and Sandra Sedmak Engel.
