Ceramic Work

I learned at a very young age in Liberia that “Art” fills up space, makes things beautiful and tells stories. This theory has become a driving factor in my work as an artist. Like cave artists thousands of years before me, I too want to fill emptiness. I want to create beauty. I want to tell stories.

My first contact with clay work came while watching my grand mother, Gowo (the voice of a leopard), repairing clay pots broken by me. Her combination of earth, water and fire blew me away. I am fortunate to be a student of many a great professionals who keep encouraging my to try new ideas. In Liberia, there is a saying, “One sits on an old mat to fix a new one.”
