​​​​​​​Growing up, I was immersed in nature and a rich tapestry of cultures. My father, an exploration mineral geologist, moved our family across various landscapes—from Papua New Guinea to New Zealand and Western Australia. Holidays  were spent in the Philippines, my mother’s homeland. These diverse environments became the foundation of my creative inspiration.

​

In my ceramics, I explore the harmony and tension between stoneware, foraged clay, ash from organic plants, and minerals such as basalt, granite, and feldspar. I celebrate the natural imperfections—textures, cracks, and irregularities—allowing them to shape the final piece. Rather than perceiving these anomalies as flaws, I embrace them as unique imprints of the material’s journey, each telling a story of its own.
