Biography

Drawing and painting dominated my early work (and still comprise an important part of my artwork) however I like to use a wide variety of different media, including building large lanterns with different community groups. I relocated from Sydney to regional QLD in 1998 and joined a local pottery group, where I found myself completely captivated by the tactile sensuousness of clay, I have a particular fondness for hand building and burnished surfaces. Since moving to the west coast and joining the Perth Studio Potters in late 2020 I have been discovering the complexities of working with porcelain. My inspiration is found in the textures, forms and colours of the natural environment, using my many sketchbooks filled with images as a constant source of information and research.
