Clay is my medium for exploring.

Clay is my medium for exploring unknown and forgotten dreams, myths and connections.  Creating new work is a journey into the dark centre where everything is born and everything is connected. It is a solitary adventure, full of mystery and wonder which I bring back to share with you.

Making my torsos, I celebrate the Great Goddess in her various forms again and again, tracing plants, animals, birds and insects onto her skin. 

My work is hand built using a mixture of press-moulding, slab building, carving and coiling techniques.

I was born in Copenhagen and grew up in Sweden in the archipelago outside Gothenburg.
I graduated from Uppsala University and then managed the Ceramics Department at Medborgar skolan in Uppsala for a few years before working as a ceramic designer at the Tao Fong Shan mission in Hong Kong. After Hong Kong I spent the next five years travelling, making a living as a free lance journalist and photographer before moving to Napa Valley in California to live with my wine making boy friend.

In 1988 I moved to Hastings in East Sussex, got married and then unmarried but have managed to stay put in a place where the hills sing.
