I started making pottery around 8 years of age. I used to go to classes at my local community centre in Frenches Forest, Sydney. I also used to do pottery in Turramurra, with a wonderful family friend called Gran, we bonded over clay and pots. She had a magical laugh and we used to make our own clay and work for hours together on a Saturday. At one point in my life all of our family friends had pieces of my pottery in their homes - animals, roast chicken dinners, bush shacks, pinch pots, avocado shaped serving dishes and lots of other random items.

After I had my two boys I went to pottery classes in the Bega Valley in New South Wales and at Camberwell Community Centre in Melbourne. We have moved around a lot but I have always managed to find my way back to clay.

I now have the time to explore my ideas and passion. I work in my sunny studio at the front of our house. My dog, Coco and I can work and watch the world the go by, it is pure joy.
