Since moving to British Columbia in 1995, I've looked to the ocean for inspiration. Every year I pack up food and water and spend at least two weeks exploring the wilderness somewhere along the Pacific coast as far north as Haida Gwaii and south to Tofino. This coastline has brought out imagery for several series of sculptural work. 

Over the past ten years I have worked on designing carved porcelain. Ever changing tidal sands and the repetitive sound of waves rolling onto the shores inspire a repeat pattern that I carve into the surface of this work. 

In 2007, my husband and I moved to Hornby Island where we enjoy a quiet rural life. The ocean continues to provide the sensory stimulus for my work. I kayak, walk on the beach and listen to the roar of the sea lions all winter long.
