Bio
I have worked for over 30 years styling and designing interiors, room sets, homewares, food shoots and ad campaigns. During that time, I developed a passion for vessels and decorative ceramic forms and started studying and working with clay in 2015. After retirement in late 2020 I was finally able to pursue this love on a full time basis and have completed a Diploma of Ceramics.
Everything I do is based on a black or white palette. The foundations of my works are wheel formed then I add, alter and attach elements to achieve interesting pieces.
There is a connection between nature and design in my works. Their surfaces must have visual or textural interest, matt, glossy, rough or smooth.
As a perfectionist I avoid perfectionism in my ceramic process. They are not functional, they just are.
