GRATITUDE TO SHARE SHOW UPDATES, PROCESS SHOTS & MUSINGS WITH YOU
Through mindful exploration, I find grounding in deep time, ‘re-membering’ myself as an anthropocosmic being, and appreciating the land I inhabit. Utilising craft as my connection, I create work that captures my perceived phenomenological experiences of time, spirituality and land. Made with love and imagination, my art attempts to deal directly with these concepts of identity I can’t get to otherwise.
Teaching ceramics is something I hold near and dear to my heart, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to be part of the artsPlace team. Canmore's community arts centre, artsPlace, is a welcoming, user-friendly space where Bow Valley residents and visitors can come to explore, discover, and celebrate the adventure of art and creativity through a variety of classes, workshops, camps, performances, films, and exhibits.
6 piece ceramic set including plate, appetizer plate, bowl and mug commissioned by local from Bow Valley. Inspired by the mountains in Banff National Park.
Thanks to the wonderful Bow Valley Ceramic Community for helping me fire this set to temperature, this beautiful set is finally going to its home!
I am grateful to be supported by the Bow Valley Community. Thank you to the wonderful person who commissioned this set. I appreciate your patience and hope that you enjoy!
Craft artists working in all traditional and contemporary craft media were invited to create their interpretations of kitsch craft; Craft that shares a knowing wink with the viewer, craft that wears kitsch on its velour sleeve as a rhinestone badge of honor, craft that’s appeal is found in its bad taste and ironic value.
Co-vid 19 has been an interesting journey. Classes cancelled, life on hold. Some people found themselves with an abundance of time and some people found themselves without anytime as life was filled with more family and work requirements. I was in the later category. Much of this work was in the kiln, ready to bisque before March 2020, but I was unable to complete the final details and fire until mid-August. I am so grateful to finish this work in August and with schools opening up, look forward to finding new studio time.
