About me and My Work

I am a ceramicist. I hand-built stoneware pieces, ranging from original, functional food safe serving bowls to sculptural pieces.

 

A lot of my inspiration for my shapes, colours and textures are from the colours of the ocean and the corals found there. 

​

My more modern swirl collections, are inspired by movement

and the lines of motion created when spinning.

​

I don’t throw my pieces on a wheel. I love creating shapes and texture using moulds to start and then letting the shapes form. I use coils, my hands and different tools to create shapes and texture.

​

Before I had my children, I was a graphic designer, working in advertising. Once I had my kids, I missed the creative outlet I had when working and decided to take an evening adult pottery class. This is when my love of pottery & ceramics began... and I haven’t looked back!

​

I love creating an object, whether it is a functional bowl or a weird but interesting sculptural piece, which all started with just a ball of clay.
