Desert ARTifacts

Welcome to Desert ARTifacts — a journey through the many eras of the California desert. My work moves through time the way the desert does: from ancient sea beds and fossil textures to mid‑century Palm Springs modernism to the sun‑washed pools and queer spaces of today. I create ceramics, digital art, and photography that carry the memory of each of these worlds.

Every piece begins with something real — clay, light, wind, water — and evolves into an artifact of a desert that has lived a thousand lives. Some works feel excavated, some feel futuristic, and some sit right in the strange, beautiful space between. This is Palm Springs as I experience it: a place where geology, architecture, mythology, and identity overlap, drift, and echo across time.
