About Me
| Introduction | I hand build a lot because brain gets tired of spinning in circles |
| How I started with ceramics | My sister who is better than me, took me along with her to some classes and I was hooked. Geez she’s always right but this time I’m glad. |
| What inspires me | The smiles that people have when I make something good. |
| What I'm working on at the moment | I’m building a workshop at the moment and then the world is my oyster. |
| My Artist Statement | My mind is creating 5-10 projects ahead which almost always infects the project I’m currently working on. I can’t wait to try out new ideas but hey that’s what makes this stuff so much fun. |
| My CV | My training comes from working with the excellent artists at Belger Arts Kansas City , Tommy Frank and Deb Wald are so much fun to learn from along with the in house artists that frequent the space in that building. I quickly realised how lucky I was from being exposed to that environment after I moved 8000 miles away to Perth Australia, but the real fun is right between your ears and it’s up to you to make it happen. |
