Describe Your Research
My research project focuses on developing artwork that draws inspiration from my family farm. Supported by two GSE grants, I have combined techniques from graphic design, ceramics, printmaking, and glaze research to create a unique method of printing on ceramic slabs and forms with underglazes. This technique adds layers and a sense of faded nostalgia, ideal for conveying my farm family stories through tiles, architectural forms reminiscent of farm buildings, portraits, and figures.
