Every day inspiration

It's warmer by the sea.

Each day I walk along the shorelines of Phillip Island. I love to watch the sunrise, the movement of the sea in the sand and discover its various treasures. My way home is enveloped with massive old trees and colourful shrubs. It’s the perfect place and the perfect balance between land and sea.

The lines, colours and organic textures and shapes inspire my work. I often directly use the textures I find. There is one type of texture I find that grows on the sea grass. Each piece is different and when applied to the clay, makes the most beautiful patterns. I love collecting them on my walks and coming home to find out what pattern it makes.

Other times I make stamps that are inspired by the things I see or I carve or sculpt into the clay to create the feeling or pattern that has captured me. The ideas cultivated in my mindful walk develop and start to consume me, I am pulled to create them and see what happens.

I create each piece with the intention of bringing a feeling of calmness, joy and elegance to you or your home. They are made with love.

Each piece I make is unique. No two colours/patterns are ever the same. It’s one of the things I love about working with clay.

I work mostly with porcelain clay. If I work with other clay it is for the colour and texture. Mostly, I am drawn to the bright white and purity of the porcelain clay. Using my hands and creating is so healing. I dream of sharing this with others both through the things I create and through helping others learn to create. I have a home studio that is growing with me.

I hope you enjoy your piece as much as I have loved making it for you. I am open to collaborations and commissions. Please reach out.
