I am a potter and ceramics instructor based in Ottawa, Ontario. I share the age old belief that there is joy, beauty and connection in using handmade pottery. There is joy and beauty also in the process of making pottery, in the transformation of soft clay to a solid object.

I am part of a tradition of women who use their time and talent to make functional items for the home that are also beautiful, expressive and become treasured because they were used. The pottery I make is intended to honour these traditions, enhance daily home life, shared meals, joy and celebration.
