I am inspired by the shifting seasons, the land, sky and shorelines that surround where I
live in Prince Edward County. The process of making with clay is not unlike the forces of
nature. It is a constant reminder of transformation and regeneration. Nature is a
magnificent model, the immediate muse of my designs and imaginings. I try to connect,
redefine and celebrate in a gesture. My mark making and forms conjure memories of
colour, event, sightline or memento held. To construct out of clay, not the literal but
metaphysical moment, that is what I intend. Making sense of connecting to the land and
verifying my love and exploration of ceramics.
