"I fell in love with clay at primary school and it continues to challenge and inspire me. I have studied to BA Fine Art level majoring in Ceramics in UK. I moved to Townsville in 1996 with 3 small children and a geologist husband. I have enjoyed being part of the local art scene in Townsville by working in many community and schools settings sharing my love of ceramics and mosaics. "
