I have a B.A in Theatre/Performing Arts from UWS,Nepean 1991 and an M.A. Visual Arts/Ceramics from ANU,Canberra 2019. I have lived on the Ngurra(country)of the Gundungurra and Dharug traditional owners of the Blue Mountains NSW for 45 years. My home studio, Lilli Pilli Studio, is situated in Hazelbrook. I have always been an artist/maker and have worked with clay since 1975. I have also made lead light/stained glass windows, I have been an actor/performer, a costume maker, a textile artist using/making plant fibre paper and basketry. I have also been a teacher in high schools and privately. My work remains informed by all my past pursuits. These days I enjoy the hard work and quiet focus of working predominantly as a potter and sculptor. In 2020 I built my wood firing bourry box kiln and I now fire my work in both my electric and wood kilns. My focus now, as an older artist, is simply to deepen my understanding of wood firing and to play in my studio with joy, intrigue and exploration. I look forward to quietly making pots and cooking them in fire into the future.
