I have lived in many places from Holland, France, Belgium, Australia, Canada and of course the UK which has been my home for the last 12 years.
I have always enjoyed being creative and making for as long as I remember but being also talented at maths, I ignored my heart and did the sensible thing of pursuing a career in accounting and finance. I knew early on this was not my calling and enrolled in a pottery course at university to help get through my degree and was instantly hooked. It sparked a deep passion and longing to master wheel throwing but for one reason or another I did not feel confident to express myself artistically.
I picked up throwing again and it has been the medicine and healing I need to connect to myself and express myself.
I am drawn to clay as it requires you to be fully presented and connected both in mind and body. Wheel throwing has challenged me to master the art of control and surrender- to be strong and still in the body yet free and flowing in the mind.

I have always loved throwing on the wheel in the past few years I have been exploring and experimenting with form and texture. I have moved away from trying to throw perfectly formed functional ware and embracing the imperfection by altering and adding texture and form to wheel thrown forms.
I have a keen interest in neuroscience and am studying to be a neuro-developmental therapist and also work part time as a gardener. I have been exploring form and texture playing with flowing, spiraling forms that mimic the seemingly random flowing lines that can be found in nature and neural networks.
I like to create garden sculptures and decorative pieces that evoke the same flowing forms of nature.
