Artist Statement

I am on an adventure of the discovery of the joys of playing, using all of my senses to explore and recover creativity. I am an artist working between clay, industrial discards and the found object. Combining my skills and training in clay, sculpture, design, textiles, jewellery making and teaching, I enjoy sharing my experience with others.
