Ceramics

I draw a lot of inspiration from the natural world and enjoy using these elements in creating my pieces, much of which are sourced from our property, Owera Farm.
My pottery obsession started five years ago after a weekend workshop with Kaye Ogilvy. After a fortunate discovery, all of my pottery pieces are now solely made from raw wild clay sourced from the farm. I love the entire pottery process, from digging the clay or walking the creeks sourcing different varieties of it, to hand building the forms, right through to the magic of opening the kiln.

The flora for other artworks are all grown, dried and pressed here on the farm in the large vegie garden, my other happy place.

There’s a calmness and warmth that nature evokes, that which inspires me to echo it, be amongst it and bring it into the home.
