As for my work, it is what keeps me going, excited and sane in this era of history in which my people and our planet are in the cross hairs. We all must find our way to fight, to say what we need to say, and perhaps most importantly, to soothe our aching hearts. For me, ceramics is my voice, my activism, and my salve.

TMH: Do you have any advice for other aspiring artists?
H: I think the biggest struggle is that we put all this pressure on ourselves. Personally, I have a lot of self-doubt, but you just have to push past that and say, “Even if this is crap, who cares? I’m going to do it anyway.” Even if you don’t like the piece, someone will like it and think it’s worth doing. So you just have to trust that you’re doing what you want or need to do.
Below you can watch some tutorials I made back in 2020. They focus on a few hand building and decorating techniques. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
