LaHave River, Nova Scotia 

My ceramic work follows the practice of wabi-wabi, a philosophy that embraces the celebration of perfect imperfections…..where the “Art of Accident” is seen as a creative opportunity. 

Like the flow of the tides, my ceramic work naturally evolved to find its beauty in its simplicity and authenticity. Each piece is unique, created and painted by hand in my studio by the Lahave Tidal River. The shape, design and lightness of my functional ceramic is organic and inspired by nature. Yet contemporary with unique character and the subtle traces of the ceramist maker. 

In a culture with the surfeit of branding and mass-produced goods, we gravitate towards the handmade not just for it’s exclusivity but for how it makes us feel.
