Artist's Statement
“I enjoy ceramics as a vehicle for timeless communication
between people and cultures. It provides a context for reflecting
on human activity. The forms I produce are intimate domestic
objects, designed as small decorative sculptures to be used
as tableware for special occasions. Ceramics express the values
of the society that creates them. My pottery reflects the
function of hand-crafted objects in our lives and becomes
a canvas to explore my artistic concerns of colour, visual
space, illusion and perception. Surfaces created celebrate
the natural environment through abstract floral decoration
and texture.“
