Why “institute?”

Because I study things and I’m curious. I know through learning and doing. I also have a hybrid path of artist and counselor. Those fields don’t allow me to stop learning.

I like to think about how ancient peoples met their basic needs using just their hands and available materials. Similarly, I’m always curious about where behaviors come from and why we have them. Working with clay, and working with people gets me curious and answers my questions at the same time.

Plus, I like monsters and textures. You’ll find my works will contain variations of both.
