Hi #portfolioday! I've never done this before so here goes.

I'm a queer artist who works mainly with clay. I make a lot of little guys: mini figure studies, tiny dinosaurs and raccoons, that kind of thing. Sometimes I make bigger stuff!

Struggling to get into the studio lately due to being sick and tired, took up knitting instead.

Little WIP from my last dip into the studio. #ceramics #sculpture #clay #art #queerart #sapphicart #sapphicceramics #queerceramics #fatart #fatceramics
A feminine figure made of clay with mushroom-like growth coming out of her right, viewer's left, side. The clay is dark brown and will fire black. The figure sits on a dirty, light colored rectangular board with a red border, on top of a blue circular banding wheel, on top of a table. The pottery studio in the background is empty, but brightly lit. A feminine figure made of clay with mushroom-like growth coming out of her right, viewer's left, side.

I'd planned to make flowers to attach to this vase, but she'd dried too much by the time I got back to her. So, carving it is! #ceramics #sculpture #figurestudy #queerart #sapphicart
A sculpture sitting on a small metal banding wheel of a feminine figure with circles and squiggly lines carved into the surface. It is hollow and intended to be used as a vase. Behind it is a crumpled plastic sheet, a used board, and the empty pottery studio.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Trying something new? She's not nearly done yet, still got a lot of work to do but I needed to let her dry enough to be able to work on other stuff without worrying about breaking her 😂 #sculpture #mermaid #ceramics #queerart #sapphicart

This might be my favorite thing I've ever made, which is hilarious bc it took months for me to glaze it bc I hated it. #ceramics #pottery #clay #laguna #torso #figurestudy #femmebodies #feminine #queerart #sapphicart

Forgot to post these when I did it but I got some underglaze on her. #underglaze #ceramics #sculpture #figurestudy #femme #queerart #sapphicart
A small, dark brown clay figurine of a feminine body painted with pink, purple, and green, with white stars scattered throughout. She is set on a paper towel that has been blotted with the underglaze used to paint her, and is next to a palette of the glaze that was mixed for the painting.

A photo of an osprey nest sitting atop a manmade stand, against a grey sky. An osprey female sits in the middle of the nest, looking to the side. The mottled feathers on her chest are primarily what distinguishes her as female, although she would also be larger than the male if he were here!

anyone, really. i get that it isn't enough. i get that universal healthcare would be better. but it is what keeps me afloat. me and my little brother would both be FUCKED without it (me with bipolar 1 and him with childhood cancer) and yes we should do better but also yes we have to do what we can
