CLAY EXPLORATIONS

I have been exploring with clay since 2000, free forming objects with a deep respect for the medium possibilities in mind. These objects, mainly functional, take irregular forms with textured surfaces. They are fired at mid-high temperature in a predictable electric kiln or at high temperature in outdoor brick kilns fueled with wood over long hours with a dedicated team of fellow potters. Surrendering my work to the fire, I never know what to expect while hoping for unpredictable surprises!

BRUSH EXPLORATIONS

My brushwork is also free formed. In 2010, I started exploring with inks and cedar bark brushes or with acrylic and unconventional tools.  Having no intention, no “inspiration”; I empty my mind and let the brush, or the tool, move freely. Then, paying attention to what just took form on the paper, I decide to stop there or keep exploring.

Located almost at the end of Beachcomber Peninsula, surrendered by plenty of water and light, my studio is nested in our double garage. It is a fabulous space to explore with clay and brush as well as to display the finalized work.
