About

Hi, and thanks for visiting my website.

Here's a little bit about me: I was born in Melbourne, Australia and still live here . Over the years I've been creating art of all types, and i love design and fine art in equal measures. Currently my main art practice concentrates on the creation of contemporary ceramic forms using the traditional techniques of slab building and sgraffito decoration. 

Before I began working with clay, most of my artistic work was in illustration, painting and design. I still do a bit of everything (when I get time), but there's something about clay and all its possibilities that when it gets a hold of you just doesn't let go.

I first started experimenting with ceramics while teaching secondary school students. As I began exploring surface decoration techniques to include in my lessons, I soon found myself making and decorating face designs on clay tiles. The black and white ceramic face wall hangings that eventuated from this play continues to grow in number and style, and they now grace the walls of homes all around Australia and internationally. In more recent times I've introduced colour to my ceramics and I'm so glad I did. It's introduced a new world of possibilities and a whole lot more fun into the making of my art.
Collectors of my work continue to relay to me the sense of joy the pieces bring to their living spaces.
