Biking in Priddis and posing with my husband Scott with our Ironman Canada medals.
Outside of my studio, my favourite thing to do is swim, bike or run with Scott and other triathlete friends in the Calgary area. Consistent exercise and sense of community is crucial for my mental health! I think the qualities that contribute to success as a triathlete such as discipline, persistence and having a growth mindset have been an essential part of my journey as a potter. Fun fact: The very first thing I made as a potter (and not as a teacher) was a set of clay medals for my triathlon friends whose races were all canceled during the COVID 19 pandemic. I’ve been an artist and art teacher my whole career… but that was the real start of my clay journey!
