about
artist statement
| I am a ceramic artist who also dyes and spins yarns and fibres for fibre artists. My studio is in the middle of a cherry orchard surrounded by mountains in Creston, BC. Creating sculptures is my passion and I like to evoke the feeling that there is a story it is trying to tell, whether real or imagined. I am drawn to making whimsical, tactile, colourful things full of patterns, textures and flowers. Whether I am working with clay or wool, my work consists of many different methods and techniques to achieve the results I desire. I have come to realize that life is too short to be too serious and my work needs to be humorous to make me want to keep making and exploring. Quality workmanship, attention to detail and a sense of humour are at the core of all my creations. I love it when people laugh at my work. |
