Past Work
Beginning in the mid 1990’s I collaborated with Ray Mackie to produce functional ceramics and exhibition work. Together we established Lucky Rabbit Pottery in Annapolis Royal (1999-2022).Our work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in numerous public and private collections.
In our collaboration, Ray is the potter. He creates the wet vessel forms and fires the kilns. I sculpt animal finials and create the surface decoration. From our very first collaboration, I have been sculpting local birds and animals and embellishing the surfaces.
