Hi! My name is Jam and I am an emerging interdisciplinary artist currently obsessed with paper and clay, but you may also find me with a camera in hand every now and again. After graduating from the Alberta University of the Arts with a BFA in drawing and minoring in ceramics, I now practice in the northern part of the unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan People (colonially known as Vernon, British Columbia).

Driven by a search for moments of reflection and emotional release, my studio work features a ritualistic use of a spiral motif as the grounding point for various material explorations - flowing between 2D and 3D forms of making, I am interested in embodying themes of organic growth and connection while also exploring the dualistic qualities of fragility and strength that are often present in my work.

When I am not in the studio making things you can find me teaching workshops in our shared space at Lyds Ceramics and at the Vernon Community Arts Centre, vending at local markets, hanging out with my partner and our cat babies, and/or exploring the outdoors (i.e. most likely at the beach).
