Artist Statement

I am a person who truly believes in life-long learning. From my

earliest memories as a small child, I learned to knit and sew from

people around me. Learning and making is part of the fabric of my life.

 

When I started creating jewellery as a way to de-stress from writing

my MBA thesis, I was reunited with my desire to make. Producing

jewellery brought together my entrepreneurial spirit and my passion

of working with my hands to create beautiful things. Deciding to pursue

a career in the visual arts, and moving away from Jewellery, I studied

ceramics at NBCCD and love experimenting with texture and variations

of colour in the medium. Ceramics offers me the opportunity to

express the artist within me."
