From a young child, I was a maker of things. Growing up with a mother who painted and had her studio at home gave me the opportunity to explore many different forms of art, but it was only when I touched clay as a young adult that I discovered the medium that continues to enrapture me to this day!

A year after my first encounter with clay I decided that ceramics was important enough to stop teaching to return to full time study in the ceramics field. Since then I have enjoyed the creative challenges and rewards of a full time studio potter.

My primary pursuit revolves around functional forms, pieces that are lovely to look at, to hold and to use. I believe that it is through the handling and using of pottery that its true beauty is revealed. I design pots with people and their daily rituals in mind.

I have recently purchased a gas kiln and have been enjoying the challenges the new glazes and clay bodies offer me. I see new forms and ideas rapidly developing with this change. Another important part of my life involves teaching workshops, both in my studio and across the country. I love the teaching, the chance to interact with other potters and the opportunity to learn through my travels

I have received many scholarships and awards for my work and I am honoured to be included in private and public collections and museums around the world. I am sure the boundless possibilities of clay will hold me in its magic for the rest of my life.
