"I have wanted to be creative for as long as I can remember. Art was the way I expressed myself as a child and it was how I connected with my class mates at school. I realised very quickly that it was not an easy subject to be good at, and that gave me a real sense of determination. After school I attended art college where I majored in contemporary craft. I then went on to study a BA Hons Fine Art degree at Carmarthen College of Art. The course gave me a deeper understanding of three- dimensional design, as well as opening my eyes to the history of art. After art college, I eventually studied to become a nurse. It was during this time that I attended an evening pottery class. I was immediately hooked.

I find pleasure in the challenge of making pots on a pottery wheel. I feel a connection between my hands and the clay that moves through them. I hope to produce work that will tell my story as a potter. It will evolve and improve as I do, and take on new forms and colour as I discover them. I see pottery as an opportunity to leave my mark on the world, and hopefully spread a little joy while doing it".
