I am a ceramist by passion and a graphic designer by training. I discovered clay for the first time in a community center in Vancouver and it was love at first sight! Subsequently, I trained with talented Quebec ceramic artists and at Concordia University. I have developed a “multiple” approach to ceramics which corresponds well with my desire to explore the medium.
I handbuild, throw and slip-cast round shapes in multiple color schemes. Functional objects, with a whimsicle touch, and curves that make you want to hold them. And above all, objects made to share quality time with others...!
Beaks or ears? My signature...
Many stories begin with a mistake… This is the case with the 2 “ears” that we find on my pieces and have become my signature. While unmolding a prototype from a plaster mold, I broke the mold!
It takes time to make a mold... no way I'll throw it away. After a first attempt at a “spout”, It looked too much like a measuring cup… I made a second dent in the mold, and voilà!
The circles adorning my pieces
Rallying point, movement, common point. Because I like to explore colors, textures and designs while creating a familiar universe, a space through wich the clay appears. A link between all my collections, the circle is comfortable, unifying...and I love everything that is curvy!
