Bio

My passion for sculpture and form was sparked in childhood at a Waldorf School in Germany. A visit to a ceramic studio at nine left an indelible mark—the potter’s hands moving with strength and grace, shaping clay into beauty. That moment awakened a lifelong fascination with the dialogue between imagination, movement, and material.

In 1982, I traveled to Australia, where I met my partner, Tom, and pursued my dream of becoming a potter. Training under ceramic artist Will Castle for nine years, I honed my craft, built kilns, and explored the transformative nature of clay. Later, in Melbourne, I deepened my studies in Education, Counselling, and Therapeutic Arts, further intertwining creativity, human development, and the natural world.

Sculpture has been a constant thread through my life. Working with clay, wood, copper, and stone continues to inspire, as does sharing this passion. For 28 years, I have taught sculpture at the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner Teacher Training Seminar, exploring form, observation, and the senses’ role in artistic expression.

In recent years, wood carving has become my primary focus—a medium that embodies both resilience and fluidity. My work has been exhibited with Sculptors Victoria, and in 2024, I was honored to receive an award at their Annual Sculpture Awards, and so far in 2025, the People's Choice Award at Herring Island Sculpture Exhibition.

For me, art is a journey—one of movement, transformation, and connection. It is a path I walk with gratitude, ever exploring, ever sharing.
