Hey Sunshine Studio is my creative practice.

It brings together handmade ceramics, seasonal botanical products through Soft Alchemy, and an ongoing exploration of beauty, function and everyday ritual.

My background in visual art continues to shape the way I work with clay.  Every piece begins with function, but it is equally guided by colour, movement, texture and composition.  

Years of exploring clay bodies, glaze combinations and atmospheric firing have gradually formed the visual language of my work.  While every decision is intentional, the kiln remains a collaborator — revealing colours, textures and unexpected moments that can never be fully controlled.

Before working primarily with clay I spent many years as a visual artist, exhibiting across painting, printmaking, installation and community arts projects.  My work explored ecology, place and the ways people connect with the landscapes they inhabit.

Along the way I was fortunate to receive several awards and scholarships, collaborate with environmental organisations and contribute to exhibitions, festivals and public projects throughout the Sunshine Coast.

Today my creative life has become quieter.

Much of my time is now spent in the studio where ceramics have become the centre of an evolving arts practice.  Alongside Soft Alchemy and other areas slowly taking shape, I'm exploring the relationship between beauty, function and the quiet rituals of everyday life, allowing each project to grow in its own time.
