Clay is my freedom. I can loose myself for hours in a piece of clay. My art is spontaneous; there are no preliminary sketches or preconceived ideas of what a piece will be when completed. As I work with the clay, it leads me through its evolution from a chunk of raw material to a finished piece of art. I am always inspired by what emerges from the clay, tickled out with my fingertips.

I continue to draw inspiration from nature and its rich colour, texture and endless shapes. My fascination with the human form finds its way into many of my sculptures by incorporating faces, hands and organic shapes with natural elements such as leaves, wood grain and colour. I respect clay and the possibilities that each earthy chunk holds.
