I am an artist based in Waihi on the edge of the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand.
 
In 2009 I began a love affair with sculpting clay.   

I hand build, delighting in a tactile exploration of the fluid movement I intuitively find there. 
The finished work invites touch.   

The elemental nature of high-temperature firing a wood kiln is the perfect choice for me. The energy of the flames’ path and that of the firing team combine, always creating a unique result.   

I experience such a sense of personal peace working with clay – it is where I belong.
