My work traces a life lived between two continents - Cape Town, South Africa, where I was born and raised, and the US, where my husband, children, and I have rebuilt a home since 2014. For me, clay is where those two worlds finally met. Before ceramics, I spent more than twenty years as a graphic designer, a career that shaped how I see form, balance, and visual storytelling.
Since 2020, I've spent part of each year back in South Africa, staying close to family, old friends, and the place that shaped me. My work carries that journey with it - my heritage, the landscapes I move between, and the beauty I find in everyday moments.
Across nearly every piece I make, I return to the number three. It appears as spots, stripes, or a form made in three layers. Three, for faith, family, and place. It's my quietest signature, the moment I recognize a piece as finished.
In some pieces, that signature is joined by another - sea glass, collected from beaches in Cape Town. Small jewel-like fragments worn smooth by the ocean melt into the artwork in the kiln, pooling like something caught mid-transformation. The ocean doesn't destroy the glass, it refines it. Distance works the same way on a person.
Each piece and every collection - Created to be Held, Displayed & Enjoyed.
