I am a sculptor based in Buffalo, New York working in clay (primarily porcelain) for over twenty years. My practice is expansive and has led me to explore many other materials that often make their way into the work which is rooted in my love of nature and my fears and desires around the ways in which our species impacts the environment and other creatures. I love to teach in both community and academic settings and maintain an active studio alongside a boisterous family of two young boys that I'm raising with my talented artist husband (Jesse Walp)
