Artist information
I enjoy company of people who love creating. Networking and meeting various artists gives me inspiration and helps me to develop my own practice. When I am not in my Ceramic studio mode, I am in the kitchen, not too far, creating different spice mixtures and kneading, rolling and infusing, just like the ceramic process.
Travelling is another way of connecting with diverse cultures and be with nature. Friends and family often wonder where I am during certain times of the year. Yoga and reading are my other hobbies.
I am often told by younger artists, that I have an inspirational vibe, unconsciously maybe as I talk passionately about my ceramics.
I have an exciting year 2025, as I am embarking on giving workshops in my new studio, going to Greece for Ceramics Residency on the eve of my big birthday and then Artweeks !! Come and visit me at Langdale Hall , Witney from 17th to 26th May and watch out for my workshops.
Exhibition information
- I love to work with my hands - infusing life and strength into the ceramics I create. My forms abound with strength and energy, and organically goes with the 'flow' - as I like to play with the clay and let it take form with shapes and textures as I go along. My creations stem from a single idea in mind, in a process that is not methodical, led by the heart and feelings. Aiming to be imperfectly perfect, with rough and smooth textures, my works are tactile, symbolic, and intriguing to the viewer. My sculptures tend be linear, feminine with sense of flow and energy in them. My inspiration also comes from the Japanese philosophy of ‘wabi-sabi’ ‘ imperfectly perfect’. I handle every process myself, interacting with clay till the piece is complete. The process of creating by hand is what flows within me. I have recently started Sculptural Ceramics Workshops, and will be holding some at the Venue during the Artweeks and thereafter at my Studio in Headington. I also take commissions.
