My work is colourful, humorous and playful. Both sculptural and functional, my ceramic pieces are one-of-a-kind!
I earned my education through the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, the Ontario College of Art and Design (BFA) and Nipissing University (BED). As an artist and teacher, I worked in the Yukon, Northern Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia. Through all my experiences, I have been exposed to many different materials. I found that ceramics was a perfect fit as I love to be practical and playful at the same time.
I live just outside of Mahone Bay with Eric, my husband & Juniper, our daughter.
