ARTIST STATEMENT

I am inspired by nature, artists, people and events. While I am drawn to colour, I also appreciate the subtle tones of sky and water. I am motivated by a desire to create something in particular, a themed piece of work. I am not a potter who could make the same 100 pieces of cups, vases or bowls. But I do make many similar pieces that are connected through a theme. Currently I am inspired by Rano Kau, a volcanic crater; a tranquil ecosystem of green vegetation, water, and stone, and by people and events.
