MessageThis won’t be a flowery, academic statement that you forget five minutes later. I’ve been a lifelong artist and a Whitby resident for 16 years. I work full time restoring vintage posters. I love music and have been taking guitar lessons for 4 years. I love green vintage jadeite glass and collect too much of it. Making art calms my mind. This creative output could be a painting, a sculpture, an odd object or pottery piece. Sometimes I paint birds on eggs, wood or canvas because there appears to be something complicated going on in their heads that intrigues me. For the last year I’ve been enormously satisfied with the process of making pottery. I try to make a certain item, but if the clay wants to go off and be something else, I’ll just go with it. If you’re admiring a piece, feel free to contact me to buy it. My work is for sale since it’s not practical to keep all of it. Gotta make room for more jadeite.
