About

I am a potter living and working in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My venture into pottery began in 2014 with a recreational course through ACAD (Alberta College of Art and Design), and I have been developing my work since then. I live with my husband, 2 kids and cats named Finn & Jake.

My goal is to create beautifully adorned and richly coloured pottery that is functional, a pleasure to hold, and beautiful enough for use at both special or daily occasions.

My work often explores the relationship between pattern and form. At times, the pattern accommodates the form, and at other times, the pattern defines the shape. For some of my work, I use slip-trailing, underglazes and metallic lustres to create layers of colour and to provide visual focus. For other parts of my work, I like to use commercial or studio-made silk-screened tissue transfers for my decorative work.

Porcelain clay is my favourite medium as it responds well to the human touch, and provides a perfect blank canvas for the decorative techniques I like to use.
