Welcome to my world of sculptural and functional ceramics.  I came to play with clay, later on in my artistic practice.  I was determined to be a painter.  During my visual art degree at McMaster University, I discovered the world of sculpture.   I had the opportunity to work with clay.  I was hooked!  It is a medium that allows the artist of any age to fully engage, experiment and play!  I truly believe that it has the ability to temper anxiety and stress.  The minute I have clay in my hands I can feel my tensions ease.  I see this with my students as well.  It is powerful. 
​ 
My ceramic work ranges from conceptual sculpture to functional, everyday use.  My thoughts on clay at this point is that a bisque fired bowl, or tray or cup, becomes a surface for me to draw on.  The glazing process is like my painting process.  I hand draw all my own designs and glaze them individually.  Yes, this takes time.  I am not a production ceramicist.  I rarely repeat designs but the color palette is very defined at this point.

I am currently making bowls, cups and trays.  I have started to develop some ceramic jewelry pieces as well.
If you are interested in my ceramic work, please let me know. I would be happy to let you know what I have in stock and what I am working on.  

conceptual, sculptural ceramics

This sculptural ceramic work is guided by themes of loss and regeneration.  Inspired by nature, floral, coral, trees, rocks, water.  I seek to find serenity amongst the chaos.  

functional ceramics

Much of this work is inspired by free-form sketches I do during anxious times.  I allow myself to draw without agenda.  I find these shapes and patterns translate well onto the clay surface. 

sculpture and painting environments

This work connects ceramics, painting and printmaking.  My 3 loves!
