Inspiration

My ceramic artwork is an exploration of the interconnectedness of form, function, and beauty, driven by a lifelong dedication to learning and innovation. Embracing the opportunity to expand my skills at KSA, I experiment with diverse shapes, materials, and colors, continually pushing the boundaries of my craft. As a civil engineer, I draw upon my technical background to enrich my artistic journey, seamlessly integrating principles of design and construction into my creative process. The discipline of engineering instills in me a meticulous approach to planning and execution, allowing me to craft functional art that marries form with utility. Whether it's considering structural integrity, material properties, or fluid dynamics, my engineering background informs every aspect of my artistic endeavor. While my roots are in the Canadian Prairies, my heart lies in Canada’s beautiful mountain ranges, enchanting boreal forests, and alpine meadows. This deep connection to nature fuels my artistic journey, manifested in themes of mountains and wildflowers, and the rich blues and soft pinks of my glazes. Through carving techniques, hand-drawn underglaze paintings, and slip trailing, I infuse my ceramic creations with the essence of the wilderness.
