Healing Forest

“The Healing Forest” is a collection of hand-built ceramic sculptures and vessels that honor trees as the ultimate healers, silent witnesses, and vital keepers of the Earth. Moving deeper than mere representation, this collection bridges the physical world with a personal archaeology, unearthing the rugged resilience and enduring strength found in the heart of the woods. Each piece in the collection is an exploration of time, texture, and natural restoration. “The Healing Forest” channels the ancient, grounding strength of the woods, inviting a sense of natural restoration and deep, quiet reflection into our urban spaces.

Wild Atlantic Way

The Wild Atlantic Way Collection is a deeply personal tribute to the raw, untamed beauty of the Irish coastline. Inspired by the dramatic, windswept cliffs and the breathtaking landscapes where the land meets the sea, each ceramic piece captures the ancient soul and enduring magic of Ireland. This series is born out of a profound respect for nature and the unseen elemental forces that shape it. Every vessel tells a story of the earth, molded with an appreciation for organic beauty and natural textures. Through these pieces, I incorporate the healing power of turquoise light—the vibrant color where the earth connects to the heart. My hope is to pass this sense of tranquility, wonder, and grounded energy to everyone who connects with and looks upon them.

Icelandic Collection

Iceland's raw beauty ignites this collection. Here, Mother Nature reveals her feminine power in all its glory. Volcanoes erupt, their fiery hearts starkly contrasting with the frozen embrace of glaciers. Ice sculpts the lava rock, a testament to the delicate balance between creation and destruction. Geysers erupt with primal force, echoing the untamed spirit of this land.

Removing Veils

This collection has been inspired by the continuous search for my divinity, it is called removing veils as I'm trying to get rid of all the limitations that don't allow me to be the highest expression of my divine self, Each piece is unique and incorporates various building techniques, including a Japanese technique of folding clay called Miura. The whole collection is quite Japanese orientated as I adore the way Japanese ceramicist respect this ancient craft.

Infinite Possibilities

Infinite possibilities are all about the resilience of clay and the flexibility it gives us to make anything that is in our minds. Everything is possible when we work with clay, there are no limits.

Transformations

The piece represents the journey into my inner self, it is a piece that breaks all boundaries to create something as unique and beautiful as we are all inside. The beautiful magic world of our inner self where we all perfect. It was been made in the wheel using black clay for the outside and stoneware for the inside pieces. It has been decorated with slips and musters to get the desired effect. The sculptural ceramic was exhibited at SDC “Transformations “ exhibition at Bankside Gallery, London in 2022.

A new beginning collection

A new beginning is my way to see this situation of self-isolation is to "Stop" and come inside ourselves, to be reborn, to appreciate our freedom, our life, our mother earth, and to realise we are all the same and we need each other. These pieces are all unique and fantastic, loved and made with the same material as we all are!
