  • I create sculptural vessels and totem poles. My vessels explore themes of connection through the rhythms of change – domestic life, friendship, nostalgia and the interplay of absence and return. I draw inspiration from shifting seasons and the ebb and flow of life, weaving threads that mark people, places and past experiences.

    They offer a space to playfully explore the relationship between form and surface. I incorporate leather cord, thread, grass and mosaics, to add layers of texture and meaning. Each piece is hand-built, layered with slip, colour and texture across varied clay bodies, and finished with glazes, underglazes, stains and oxides.

  • My totem sculptures are bold and designed to make an expressive statement. Each conical form, crowned with a single totem, stands as a quiet yet powerful sentinel among foliage in courtyards and balcony gardens. I enjoy the freedom these simple forms offer – space to paint, carve and layer marks that together build depth and texture, creating imagery that invites contemplation.

    Whether through surface design or sculptural form, I embrace the flexibility of moving between two and three dimensional art, keeping my practice dynamic and ever-evolving.

I respectfully acknowledge the Turrabul and Jagera people, the Traditional Custodians of the land and waterways on which I live and work on. I pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Australians who call this wonderful land home.
