The Bloom Room at North Fork Art Collective
A celebration of Mother Nature’s quiet power, The Bloom Room is more than a collection of art…it’s an exploration of the beauty that connects us all.
From the simplest wildflower to the complexities of human emotion, this show honors the full cycle of life: birth, growth, decay, and transformation. Through diverse works by local artists, we reflect on the rhythm of the natural world and the movement within us and the natural environment.

“In Flow”
Vessel no.1 - 6
My work in stoneware is an ongoing conversation with the world around me. These six vessels emerged from a space of play and experimentation, where form followed feeling. Built by hand with ripple edges and open forms, they reflect a process rooted in play and intuition. The surfaces are glazed in white, then splattered with deep blue pigment - a gesture that evokes the unpredictable joy of mark-making and letting go.
At its core, my ceramic practice is about letting the material lead - allowing instinct, memory, and the natural world to shape what emerges.
