      Brief History & Mission

      • After 25 years in the field of international curating & academia, this is my way of giving back to my tribe of clay-loving artists.
      • It's my chance to share the wisdom & support I have received from artists, curators, academics & gallerists who have nurtured me along this incredible life journey across 4 continents, from my homeland, South Africa.
      • I am immensely grateful to have lived & worked in Europe (Spain, France, the UK & Belgium), Asia (China, Taiwan, India), Australia, Africa & the Middle East.
