A background in ceramics combining workshop based apprenticeship training and tertiary visual arts education, has enabled me to develop and establish an independent contemporary craft practice in Hobart, exhibiting and marketing my work nationally and overseas.

I strive for excellence in craftsmanship and an elegant simplicity in design, which I have explored for many years in porcelain. Experimenting with materials, minimalist form and surface, I have been creating and refining pattern assembled from elemental geometric shapes. These have been expressed by using the ambiguity of a positive and negative ground with applied monochromatic colour and texture.

Recent public and private commissions has enabled me to push the boundaries of my ceramics practice and extend my design skills even further by embellishing civic and architectural environments using newly developed
techniques on stone, glass and concrete through the use of computer generated stencil designs and sandblasting.

New work and applications of new media (such as glass, concrete, metal, timber) has provided me with a broader horizon, greatly increasing the scale and scope of projects possible. By applying my skills laterally, I have been able to create new opportunities, projecting my practice onto
large-scale urban and civic architectural environments.
