"For a long time now clay has been my chosen material to work with as it offers so much to discover. I like to explore sculpture and the design of unique vessel-figures as well as tableware thrown on a potters wheel. Inspiration for my work stems from New Zealand’s beautiful nature. Waterfalls and the shape of waves motivate me to create wallhangings with textured surfaces and traces of dripping glazes. Flax flowers are the dekor on the latest tableware line."
