I don’t often like to plan too far ahead but looking back and seeing the journey we’ve been on, makes me grateful for always taking chances, being curious, following my intuition and having fun.

Adventures in handbuilding and surface decorating ceramics
Spring hasn’t officially arrived (yet) but I’ll be over here making more floral themed pinch pots and trinket dishes over the coming weeks. For now I’m thrilled these have been released into the wild at a warm and welcoming local business in our community.
Recycling clay into keepsakes
It’s my way of recycling bits of clay and hand carving and painting these became more meditative than I thought. They also took less time than handbuilding a piece, so I may have discovered the perfect naptime pottery studio practice!
I haven’t been hiding, I’ve been healing
There have been many pleasant surprises along the way and I plan to keep making pottery for, dare I say it, the rest of my life.
My first art market (of hopefully many)
My oldest and I did our own private tour of Galway around shop street and the spanish arch earlier this year, when a kind stranger offered to snap a few photos of us outside Judy Greene Pottery.
Making progress, while making art
I am learning to ask for help (again), be kind to myself (again) and what the rest my body and mind currently need looks and feels like (again), versus what I may have previously needed.
How quickly things can change
Life is unpredictable. I’m sure you’ve felt this at some point. One moment your day is going one way and then things change in an instant.
Arriving back at the start and beginning again
Over the coming months, I’m setting the intention to take more time to create and implement a regular art practice, while beginning to share and sell my work again. My intuition is telling me it’s right next step and like all of the other leaps in life I’ve taken, only time will tell how it all unfolds! For now, I’m hopeful.
When accidental activism evolves into something more permanent
As my three children grow up, I see the many layers of policy across governmental departments, ministries on all levels (Federal, Provincial, Municipal) which impact parents’ ability to design a life that works for them and their family.
