The simple pleasures in life are essential to growth and well being, and for me making has always been one of those pleasures. My craft learning never ceases allowing me to follow numerous avenues in my work.

My love for ceramics has grown over the years, and runs concurrently with my love for jewellery. I particularly enjoy finding ways to manipulate the surface and intrinsic qualities of clay into new possibilities.

All my work begins as a notion of something that has randomly caught my attention. Inspirations travel through many sketchbooks for years until a physical entity becomes apparent. I'll fixate on an idea pushing it through numerous changes to allow my particular approach and style to become evident. Frequently, I realise I have unintentionally produced a range with an underlying theme allowing me to bring them together into a cohesive group.

My current mini collections are produced through simple exploration of different materials, allowing me to combine my jewellery and ceramic techniques in a unique format that demonstrates my ideas in the most effective manner.
