Artist’s statement :

“Clay for me is the medium by which I get to express the stories from within, from childhood doodles to more sophisticated whimsical narratives, depicting my beliefs about myself, God and my environment. It is this interaction of relationships that I endeavour to capture in quirky, figurative utilitarian forms.”
