Following an intro to pottery course in 2019 I was immediately drawn to the tactile nature of working with clay; it has provided me the medium where the language is about the handmade, as a result I define myself as a hand building clay artist; by choice, I rarely work on the wheel. With hand building, I love the feel and the appearance of the clay body – the marks left by the tools combined with my fingerprints – the relationship between the clay body and me, the maker.

I am also strongly influenced by my environment and surroundings and I endeavour to provide a reflection of this and the different cultures that I have experienced, in my construction and glazing techniques. I frequently combine my love of travel with exposure to alternative ceramic practices and I believe that this is reflected in my evolving work.

Since 2020 I have been a student Melbourne’s School of Clay and Art (SoCA) where further development is pursued.
