About the Maker(s)

I am a senior at the University of North Texas, currently seeking a double major in Political Science and Ceramics with a minor in Sculpture. I enjoy making small things that, through repetition, focus the viewer on a simple motion of movement. I like to simplify things essentially. I also feel that what I make should be fun - should engage people physically and make them smile.
