I’ve been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember — it’s simply part of who I am. After formal study in art and art history, my creative path led me back to ceramics, a medium I first loved as a student. I now work primarily on the wheel, where the quiet rhythm of throwing feels both meditative and grounding. Drawn to the patience and humility the process demands, I find in clay a sense of focus, flow, and stillness — a natural complement to yoga and mindfulness. The accompanying photographs show my pots in a range of colours and finishes, with one piece adorned with delicate Japanese flowers, reflecting my love of simplicity and nature.
