I create ceramic vessels as activators for well-being. I do this by exploring how universal life force energy (Reiki) can be transferred from nature into clay and then I respond to that alliance by making functional pieces for dwelling spaces and as tools for contemplation and meditation. In addition, I also curate installations for people to experience a ‘Haven‘ to replenish and relax in.

As both a Master Potter and Reiki Master Teacher, I’m motivated by how the healing quality of ‘outside’ nature, can be brought ‘inside’ and how markings taken from nature can form a visual bridge to create increased resonance.

This offers the onlooker or user to connect to nature, any time, any place – even for a moment in between the busy pace of modern day life.

I use a combination of commercial, wild clays and porcelain in my making practise; throwing and hand building in sculptural layers while engaging healing resonance, often on location in nature.

I invite you to read more about my theory and professional practise and research practise describing this fervent ambition.
