Sculpting clay is my passion which allows me to tap into my imagination
and is a never ending journey of discovery and learning.
I am a self taught artist and have been into many forms of art
since childhood. I have always had the ability to draw animals
and birds well. Although only recently discovering the joy of
sculpting in porcelain clay, as a child I sculptured birds and
animals from air dry clay, for many years my artistic abilities
were put on 'the back burner' while I raised a family and worked
full time, only discovering I still had my sculpting talent after
buying a block of porcelain clay in 2005 'just for something to
do'.
After creating a menagerie of birds and animals
including owls, kookaburras, dogs and ponies my family convinced
me to buy a kiln, which I did and consider it the best purchase
I ever made and after discovering my art was appealing to
others I began sculpting full time.
The nature of my work lies with the whimsical
and the figurative. I only create original sculptures so
that each collector has the only 'one of its kind'. My sculptures
may follow a theme but no two are ever identical.
Nothing pleases me more than when I see someone
look at my work and smile. I am still always overwhelmed
by the fact that people like my art enough to want to own
it.
