Life to me is all about creating!
I believe there will always be a use for ceramics, not just for function but for the need of mankind to have beauty and emotion represented outwardly.
The desire to use all my senses, to touch, to see, to think and feel is enabled through the various forms of ceramics I create.
With ceramics I am excited by the range of techniques available and how each has a very distinct character that requires a different approach. The sensory journey that it involves brings such satisfaction to me; an outpouring of the need to create is fulfilled by these processes.
The essence of this is what I desire to be evident in my work.

A few years ago I decided to stretch my creative interests and specialise in ceramics. As I began to understand the intellectual process of making connections, I realised how wonderful it is to create something from the inspiration of the world around me, joining all my passions together. The more I explored, the greater my appreciation became for beauty in the little things, In textures, colours, Patterns, and the way these things made me feel. I am particularly drawn to natural materials , Or objects that are weathered or worn. It creates a sense of belonging and comfort.

MY INSPIRATION
I have explored the concept of Wabi Sabi, a Japanese aesthetic which centres on enjoying natural simplicity over, manufactured, contrived perfection.
Giving in to the natural innate qualities of clay I am echoing the essence of objects and textures, some that happen by chance, without a constant need to pursue perfection and status.
