About Me
| Introduction | Part-time Potter. Part-time Artist. Full-time Wife. Mom of 5. Past homeschooler. Alberta, Canadian girl living in Saskatchewan, Canada. |
| What I Love about Ceramics | I love the textures, the sounds, the way I don’t notice anything except what I am working on. I love how I can manipulate a ball of gooey mud into something useful, colourful, fanciful. Add some heat and you have a completely different structure than you had before. And it can last forever. Who knows, maybe a piece you made in 2022 inspires someone to make something in the year 3032? |
| How I started with ceramics | I was a stay -home mom of 2. I took a pottery class with the lady who was my grade 4 teacher and I LOVED it! I was glued like glaze on clay after the first class! Thanks Alice! ( Mrs P.) She has since passed away and I sure miss her encouragement! Clay quieted my mind in ways I truly needed at the time and still need 30 years later.

| What inspires me | A brief list of what inspires me: My kids and family. My husband. Pets. Clouds. The sun. Bodies of water. Fire pits in my backyard. Gardens and plants. Other nature. Great conversations. Great art. Zentangles and Neurographic art. Great artists of the past and present. Holding someone else’s pot in my hands. History. The Bible. Teaching and learning with others. Sharing clay with others. Tools of the trade. It doesn’t matter what trade; the tools of any trade fascinate me. |
| What I'm working on at the moment | I have been making a lot of trays and platters. Everything looks better on a tray. Garden sculptures. Using every mould and texture tool I own. Always mugs. Learning to make larger pieces. Whatever seems to inspire me in the moment. I am a one-off maker. No two pieces will ever be the same since I am not the same now as I was when I made the last piece, because I learn something from everything I do. |
| My Artist Statement | I believe art, as well as life, is always a work in progress. My life will not be the same tomorrow as it is today, so what I make today reflects the progress of life and learning. I consider myself to be an experimental artist, meaning I use the “mess around and find out method”. I have been making pottery for over 25 years and more devotedly for the last 2. |
