Born in Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania, I came to Canada over thirty years ago, meandering my way through various countries with my family before settling in Vancouver.
My first brief exposure to clay a few years ago, turned into passion. Over the years I have tried different firings and techniques, challenging the clay and myself. Exploring form, texture and color are the three elements that excite me about working with clay. My creations include functional, non-functional and sculptural pieces.
My interests in clay are diverse. I love the translucency and the delicacy of porcelain and the robustness of the stoneware. I find playing with texture, and color and the balance between function and aesthetic exciting and challenging. Wheelwork and handbuilding are used to add interest to the forms. The thrown pieces are at times altered to give it a dimension. In the forms, my intention is to reach up to heaven and yet remain connected to the earth.
