Drawing my inspiration from elements, colours and textures of the natural world, clay is the language I use to bring my vision to life. 

Influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of WabiSabi, I prefer muted colours, simple palettes and favour entirely hand built forms, which do not seek mechanical perfection but, rather use the process of emergence from under my hands to reference the timeless and gradual emergence of forms in the natural world. 

Born in Zimbabwe, I often joke that I have lived many lives, as that is how it sometimes feels! 

​My background is in equality and human resources, but I found myself working in parliamentary practice for a long while. Like so many, the work and environment took a toll on my health and that is how I found clay. I started playing at home and fell in love with the craft.

​All my work is made by hand, without a wheel, and I make both sculptural and functional pieces. I am inspired by the elements, colours and textures of the natural world and the eclectic mix of cultures I have encountered on my journey. 

I make a lot of my own glazes and I tend work in collections, which means that I spend a great deal of time researching a topic and building around that topic through my work. ​

In a time when everything seems to go at such a fast pace, I am deliberately building a life that celebrates the day to day and a love for beautiful things made well and slowly. These are reminders of how beautiful the world can be and how many things connect us all.
