what I love most about my craft
I love clay for its sensuous pliability... my favorite tools are my hands; I experience and learn so much through the sense of touch. Figurative sculptures are particularly satisfying... I enjoy meeting new "characters" as they emerge out of the clay.

where/how I learned my craft
I studied ceramics at the School of Art, University of Manitoba... along with lots of trial and error, trial and error, etc.

recent projects
I'm currently working on a body of work comprised of numerous figurative sculptures, with the goal of a solo gallery exhibition within the next year. I'll be posting images of new works on my website as they come to life.

a crafty-quote that I love
Pablo Picasso quote at my jewellery bench " Je ne cherche pas, je trouve." Recently this led me to collect beautiful aquamarine coloured
windshield glass from the pavement and incorporate it in an elegant suite of jewellery using traditional stone setting techniques.
