I am a junior at Laguna Beach High School and have been creating ceramics for three years, inside and outside the school environment. I worked with a professional artist, Sharon Hardy, for a few months helping throw and glaze pieces for her art shows and art installations. I've been interested in ceramics and art in general as long as I can remember and my parents have always pushed me to pursue and develop my abilities as an artist. I am interested in creating organic shapes that mimic the beauty found in nature and reflect my depth of appreciation for the planet we live on.
