As surely as a potter shapes clay into form, the art of pottery has shaped my passion with clay since early childhood.

Moving from Germany to Canada at the age of 13, I continued to hand-build, spending countless afternoons in the pottery studio throughout my years at High School. The first time I ever sat at the pottery wheel was in 1987 while taking a pottery class at the local community center when still living in Canada. My first experience on the pottery wheel was absolutely magical. I fell in love with the wheel that afternoon and I have been a wheel thrower ever since. My passion is in creating functional pottery using stoneware and porcelain clays. I delight in decorating with slip using a variety of techniques including slip-trailing, etching, marbling and also combining this with dip-glazing.
