about me
In 1979 I began working in clay full time and quickly discovered it became a way to, explore, learn, cope and provide a satisfying life. Exploring the natural world and it’s processes has always intrigued me and finding my way into the world of clay as a medium has provided the rich experiences of exploring both. Investigating a variety of clay techniques inspired by my garden surroundings keeps me engaged and enjoying my daily life and the time spent working in my home studio. I hope you
can see and enjoy through my work, some of what I experience as I continue exploring new directions. |
