Title: Blooming in Wilmington: My Work Heads to the Carolina Art Show

This August, I’m thrilled to share that my ceramic work will be featured in the Carolina Art Show in beautiful Wilmington, North Carolina!

I’ll be exhibiting “Ascending Blooms” a hand-built ceramic vessel adorned with cascading roses in a soft ivory glaze. This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of strength, femininity, and transformation—expressed through the fragile yet enduring form of the rose. Each petal is shaped by hand, layered with intention, and fired with care to create a sculpture that speaks to growth and resilience.

Being selected for this show is a tremendous honor. Wilmington has a vibrant and growing arts community, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to its creative landscape. I look forward to connecting with fellow artists and art lovers during the opening reception—and hope this piece sparks conversation and connection.
