“A craftsman becomes an artist when he starts innovating. The experimenters blur the edges between craft and art, who can say if that is a pot or a sculpture”
After twenty years designing and manufacturing in the garment industry it
was time to embark on raising our three children. Always a love for working
with my hands, clay became an active hobby.
Over a period of 10 years, taking lessons, practiced, and spent summers
enrolled at the Haliburton Arts School, I became hooked on working with
clay. This inspiration found me at Sheridan College graduating with honors
in 2010.
Since Sheridan, I have continued the path of learning. Honing my skills,
exploring firing processes and glazing, taking workshops from some of the
best masters, establishing my own studio, exhibiting, and selling. As well, I
have given workshops and presentations sharing my passion for clay.
Mostly, I create pieces that celebrates daily life, the receiving and sharing
of food, and I enjoy designing groups of vessels that create a dialogue,
both functional and sculptural. I am truly fascinated with process, drawing
inspiration from the world that surrounds me, I find the entire medium of
ceramics exciting and the possibilities endless.
