I am an artist based in Norfolk County, working at the intersection of ceramics, nature, and slow process.

I hold an MA in Ceramics from the Royal College of Art (London, 2017) and studied at Sheridan College’s School of Craft & Design. I earned my BA in History from McMaster University. I’ve been an Artist-in-Residence at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto and have participated in exhibitions and residencies in Canada and abroad.

I have been a volunteer at the Art Gallery of Ontario for fifteen years now, and am currently a gallery guide. I am currently training to become a forest therapy guide with the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy.

My work is rooted in gesture and guided by intuition. I stretch, rip, roll, and push the material toward collapse and near ruin in search of form. The hand is wholly evident, as my fingers are my primary tools of expression. I work with immediacy, risk, and a gut feeling — and I listen through making.

Lately, my practice has expanded to include forest walking and the quiet act of collecting. Fallen pine bark and feathers from the forest floor echo the physicality of my clay forms. These materials, like clay, speak of time, tension, and tenderness — of what is shed and what remains.

Making is how I shed weight, how I find rhythm in both material and the natural world.

I feel while I am making what I cannot say, and I hope to make visible the impossible to describe.
