"... and as creative beings, travelers are what we are at the core.
The refusal to begin the journey doesn't keep us from having one"
Julia Cameron
(The sound of paper)
I am an object maker and visual story teller. Ultimately all of my work is about helping myself and other people connect to everyday beauty.
I create objects with a story. Quiet reflections, introspection's on my life and the factors that have influence on my life.
The themes in my work are an ongoing dialogue between my environment and myself. A sense of place, home, belonging, and placement is ever-present in my mind when I am planning a work. Where I am, where I have been, where I grew up is represented, not necessarily graphically but the sense, the remembrance of place.
I explore in clay (mainly), painting, drawing and sewing. All work are fully handmade and as such it is naturally imperfect and playfully charming. There is harmony, fantasy and humor (quirkiness) in the images.
Knowing that an object I have made is used everyday, brings me great joy and satisfaction.
I also play on Instagram, do come and visit
