About

I grew up being made fun of for my teeth. That specific kind of body shame — being told a part of you is too visible, too wrong, too much — has a way of lodging itself somewhere you can’t reach. I dealt with it by making art about it.

Teeth became a recurring subject. Then body horror in general. Then the slow, chaotic process of reclaiming what used to embarrass you by making it into something beautiful.

Each piece starts as an impulse I can’t fully explain. A feeling about mortality, or disgust, or desire. I work in polymer clay, silicone, resin, silver — sometimes all in the same piece. The materials pick up traces of the process. I don’t try to hide that.

Nothing is mass-produced. If something sells out, it’s gone. I occasionally revisit an idea in a new form, but I never make exact duplicates.

The Etsy shop carries the work I’m comfortable putting in front of a general audience. The Curiosity Cabinet — accessible from the main menu — holds the pieces that need a more specific kind of viewer.

I work three jobs and run this studio in the margins. Orders ship from my apartment. Customer service goes through my personal email. Every piece that leaves here has been handled by exactly one pair of hands: mine.

I show at markets across San Diego — check the Find Me page for upcoming dates. It’s the best way to see the work in person, ask questions, and find pieces that haven’t made it to the shop yet.
