I’m a ceramic artist. I’m married and my daughter is studying at Stellenbosch university. We live in Parkhurst, a suburb of Johannesburg and that is also where I have my ceramic studio, near busy 4th avenue in the village.

I like reading, taking my dog on walks, going to gym, spending time with my friends but most of all I like to investigate things by drawing it on paper or clay. My ceramic forms – my flower vases, teapot combines or cylinders – give me unusual canvasses on which to explore the existence of things. It connects so many dimensions from depth to height, infinite space to the eternal rotation of time on a surface that is curved.

In many ways my pots have become a wonderful way to explore the word of God in pictures. I don’t think of myself as an artist but rather as somebody who is a follower of Christ, who marvels at the abundance of good life given to me by his amazing grace.
