My creative journey began at school, we had a wonderful art program and ceramics studio. i have had periods of time where i have not been creative, but a creative drive now pursues me

How would you describe your creative practice?
I would describe my creative practice as playing with form, shape and colour. Making large scale, ceramic vessels that have bold and graphic surface treatment.

 What are you working on right now?
I am working on a large pot that will hopefully be a planter for a large monstera plant i have at home

I have lived in Ballarat for almost 20 years, working and raising a family

The creative community of Ballarat is flourishing, connected and supportive.
