About the Artist

I have been attracted to clay since I was a young adult, inspired by Japanese incense cases (kōgō 香合)that I made helping a ceramicist. This passion came to life when I rediscovered clay about 6 years ago. 

I love working with clay as a medium as it stretches my skills and creativity and allows me to continuously learn. The moment I touch the clay, its malleability and versatility to combine different building and glazing techniques, allows me to immerse myself in a different and magical world and turn on my subconscious. 

My current work centres around the classical Japanese arts of refinements, the appreciation of incense, the flower arrangement and tea. I would like my viewers to be transported somewhere else in their busy lifestyle where they can sense the tranquillity and beauty of nature. As a Japanese proverb states:

Kachoufugetsu (花鳥風月), meaning "to experience the beauties of nature, and in doing so learn about yourself."
