Georgia Southern University Juried Undergraduate Exhibition, 2024

Georgia Southern University Juried Undergraduate Exhibition, 2025

In the Spring of 2025, two of my pieces were accepted into the GSU Juried Exhibition.

The pieces accepted included a soapstone sculpture, Winona, as well as Onculus, a Raku-fired ceramic octopus sculpture.

My very first animal sculpture, Rhino, was accepted into the GSU Juried Undergraduate Exhibition in the Spring of 2024.

This sculpture launched me into what is now a growing collection of animal sculptures.

Georgia Southern University Juried Undergraduate Exhibition, 2026

My collection, Salmon Sleuth, was accepted into the upcoming Spring 2026 GSU Juried Exhibition.

This collection features a series of 5 bears made out of ceramic. I sculpted a basic bear form in clay and then created a slip-mold out of plaster. I then used this mold to create 5 different bears.

There are two brown bears, a black bear, a grolar bear (grizzly and polar bear hybrid), and a raku-fired bear.

In the Summer of 2024, I participated in an Interdisciplinary Study Away program through Georgia Southern University in the Florida Keys.

Over the course of a week, 18 students and I traveled alongside Casey Schachner, Associate Professor of Art in 3D, and Dr. Jennifer Zettler, Professor of Biology.

We explored and studied the various environments of the Florida Keys. This opportunity allowed me to witness ecosystems I had never seen before, such as the Mangrove forests and coral reefs, as well as endemic species like the Key Deer, which can only be found in the Florida Keys.

After gathering samples and conducting research, we returned to the Savannah, GA campus, where we created artworks inspired by what we saw in the Keys.

This allowed us to explore the profound connection between nature and creativity.

Art + Science in the Florida Keys, 2024

I created a series of watercolor paintings titled, Reef Food Web, based on organisms I witnessed while snorkeling off the coast of the Florida Keys. Each of these organisms plays a crucial role in the reef ecosystem.

I connected the watercolor paintings using thumbtacks and fishing line that I found polluting one of the beaches that we snorkeled off of.

Art + Science in the Florida Keys, 2025

I participated in the same Interdisciplinary Study Away program in the Summer of 2025. One week was not enough time for me to truly appreciate the vast flora and fauna and natural beauty of the Florida Keys.

With a better grasp of the ecosystems I would be studying and some familiarity with the areas, I was able to observe, analyze, and reflect on the FL Keys ecosystems in more detail.

This exhibition became a personal passion project. I created a wide variety of works, ranging from 2D fish prints to larger ceramic sculptures.

The ceramic sculptures are recreations of organisms I observed in the Florida Keys, including the Florida Horse Conch and the Spotted Sea Hare.

The prints are a variety of different fish species, including speedos, Kingfish, Bonita, and pinfish. The leaf print is a print of real leaves taken from the Seagrape plant, native to the Keys.

The framed specimens are herbarium pressings collected while in the Florida Keys. They include native seagrass as well as various algal specimens.

While exploring and observing the various ecosystems, I kept a field journal to record the organisms and behaviors I witnessed. I included this field journal in the exhibition to allow the audience to view the Keys through my eyes.
