I discovered clay and the potter's wheel in the late 70s, when I was a young single mother living in Roberts Creek, BC. I knew immediately that I had found "my medium". I was a fairly quick study and by the early 80s was making pottery professionally, exhibiting and selling my work in various craft fairs, galleries and other retail venues up and down the BC coast. 

In the late 1980s I moved to Vancouver, regretfully putting my pottery equipment in storage for several years while I went back to university. In the mid-1990s I was finally able to set up a clay studio again, and have been happily playing in the mud every since. 

I make one-of-a-kind pieces in porcelain, mostly bowls. For me, a successful piece combines the following elements:

• simplicity and elegance of form.
• a line the eye is pleased to follow.
• a shape that feels good to hold.
• a glaze that "fits" the pot, aesthetically as well as physically.
