About The Artwork

This reef scape is of Opuhala, the Hawaiian Goddess of coral. She appears in mythology sometimes as a woman, and sometimes as a coral reef. Here I have portrayed her dressed in sea green with embellishments of 22K gold to highlight her status and beauty as a Goddess. Please note that my original design did not include the lid, but once cut from the vase I decided to add the three white coral flower forms. It does not fit well, but I decided to include it as I like the composition with it next to the vase.

I started on this love affair with clay when I was fifteen years old at school in Brighton, England, but the passion was not rekindled until I moved to Virginia Beach in the USA, over 10 years ago. Here, I found a community of artists when I took ceramic classes at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and created art to hang on the walls of my new home. I was fortunate to have a dedicated and passionate instructor, and attend a workshop with Courtney Mattison, when she exhibited her large coral installations at MOCA in 2016. I remained at MOCA until March 2020 when the ceramics classes ceased due to Covid 19. Since then, I have attended numerous virtual ceramic workshops and conferences taught by world-famous ceramic artist, gaining valuable knowledge, techniques and inspiration. This has helped me to learn and grow as an artist. I have carved out a corner in my garage and continue to create with clay and at the end of November 2020, my kiln arrived, and the adventure of experimentation, exploration, pushing the boundaries really started.
