Ceramics started out as a hobby in 1997, but now has now grown into a full-time passion. Personally, I’d be challenged to find another medium that has such diversity of techniques.
I am originally from Mangere, South Auckland, but have managed to escape to the Waitetuna Valley, Raglan (Whaingaroa), where we have one of the oldest ten acre blocks in the Waikato. Living in such a beautiful place, I can’t help but be inspired by the flaura and fauna around me.
My love of gardening is apparent by the many botanical themes I create, and having a typical New Zealand heritage (a bit of this, a bit of Ngai Tahu, and a bit of that), I enjoy creating Maori motifs. There’s something in the fluid nature of them that appeals to me.
Other interests, like practising Aikido (a Japanese Martial Art that translates to ‘the way of harmony’) and my six Japanese Akita dogs, are also a major influence.
Pieces may be commissioned to suit individual tastes (as a new idea is always welcome).
