I have been a potter for 25 years, and consider myself very fortunate to love what I do. My Studio is on acreage in beautiful Knutsford BC.
I am a long time member of the Thompson Valley Potters’ Guild and have given lessons to children and adults.
I recently chaired our Empty Bowl Project which raised money for the local food bank and the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
I believe artists have a great capacity and responsibility to make the world a more caring place.
