Inspiration
Art offers us a way to connect with our self and with others. Art is a universal language that crosses barriers. When we make art we get in touch with our selves in a way that is unfiltered and freeing. We tap into our believes, values, inspiration, perspective, emotions, and transmute them into physical form. Anyone can make art and everybody’s art will look different and this difference is something to cherish.
I first connected with clay in 2018 in an after-work class, after feeling like I was lacking a creative outlet in my life. I watched myself channel energy into my creations and saw colours and shapes of my garden (another passion of mine) emerge through my ceramics. In the past couple of years I have become fascinated and learned in astrology, and more broadly the spiritual understanding of these concepts, and have found these have allowed me to connect more widely with the energetics of the world I immerse myself in. As such, I have noticed a connected evolution in my work. I am now studying a Masters in Art Therapy and these learnings have further amplified my connection with making art and expressing myself in unique ways.
For me it is always about communicating expression; I love that you can see the maker in each piece - from the valleys of finger impressions, to the way the colours are selected and applied forms a story within each creation. My work is fun, thoughtful and free. I deeply enjoy colour work and am always experimenting and creating new pieces; you will rarely see two of the same!
I hope you find enjoyment in the ceramics that I make, and use them in your life in a connected and meaningful way, adding to them your own story.
I wish you an abundance of creative expression!
