"Just outside Paris, where I live, millstone houses dominate the landscape. And yet, there are pockets of nature to be found from trees whose blossoms colour the streets pink or white in spring, and a little while later little explosions of red dot a background of urban yellow and beige: poppies that pop up wherever they want. I capture these little niches of nature in an urban setting in a vessel of black stoneware."

"Using a combination of building and surface decoration techniques, I incorporate an element of delicacy in my pieces, be it imagery, structural, the glaze or the making and firing process, while still ensuring the pot is functional: it should be sturdy enough to use. I want to show that this delicacy or fragility can also be strength and confers a piece its strength."

"I am originally trained as a scientist, studying the fluid dynamics of biomaterials in Amsterdam. While working in education in Paris, I signed up for wheel throwing in stoneware and porcelain classes and was hooked. Eager to learn more about ceramics, I also followed multiple workshops in raku-firing and in different aspects of ceramics, while improving my skills and finding my style. A couple of years ago I took the plunge and now dedicate my time to making ceramics professionally in my home atelier."
