What is your background?
I am from London, where I lived with my mother. On weekends, we would visit my father. Occasionally we went to the studio to help with normal studio chores and that’s when my passion for ceramics secretly started. Both of my parents were self-employed growing up. I used to pick up on the stresses and struggles of life and think it put me off wanting to have a business as I did not want the same for myself. My creative endeavours as an artist lead me to the contrary opinion – I really couldn’t have it any other way.
Where do you look for inspiration?
Creativity gives me the opportunity – with imagination – to take myself into my own utopia. I look at everything around me, not just when I am travelling, exploring and connecting with newness but most moments of my day. I use these thoughts and feelings to create new ideas, while filling sketchbooks with squiggly drawings that depict my next best piece.
