Statement
I am a ceramic and 2D artist living and working in Victoria and Metchosin, BC. I began working with clay alongside my mother as a teen in community studios in Alberta, and have taken ceramic workshops ever since. I have drawn, painted and sketched throughout this time. I have recently joined the Monday afternoon Watercolour group at ArtPod and continue to explore this new-to-me medium.
Academically, I pursued degrees in environmental design and veterinary medicine, and my love of animals and the natural world pervade my art.
I now make sculptures and decorative 2D art which tell stories. I am drawn to bright colours, and enjoy the vibrancy and immediacy of underglazes. I also enjoy the calm of a more muted palatte. Reading and research inspires many of my sculptures and artwork, as does writing, music and poetry.
I like to think of my 3d works as sculpted words; my 2D works as words manifest in imagery.
