My current artistic focus is portraying memories through my ceramic work, specifically focusing on experiences I have had revolving around nature. By carving out natural textures onto my ceramic forms, I aim to both replicate pieces of nature as well as abstract the subjects into classic ceramic forms. The labor-intensive carving and sculpture work helps me to solidify these special moments in time, and honor the family I shared these times with. I hope to spark a conversation about experiences others have shared through nature, and how the different textures and carvings might represent different events to different people.

I am a native of the Pioneer Valley, in the western part of Massachusetts. I have been passionate about photography since childhood, but it was when I moved to Colorado that I knew I had found my calling. My travels to the breathtaking landscapes and national parks of the four corner states provided endless opportunities to create dramatic photos. With this inspiration, I returned home to earn my BFA in Photography from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford in 2018. 

I have two areas of focus in my photography. The first is food and wine, where I make beautiful, natural food and wine into delicious works of art. The second is nature photography, capturing both the dramatic vistas and the intimate vignettes.

Cady’s work will be on display from November 11th - December 28th
