As a teenager, she cherished hours spent in her father’s shed, moulding and shaping her imagination into tangible forms.
For many years, Kaye devoted herself to motherhood, placing her children at the centre of her world.
However, once they started school, she eagerly returned to the world of clay she had longed for.
Through various classes, mentors, and eventually full-time study, Kaye’s love and mastery of the medium flourished.
Today, with over 40 years of experience, she is a distinguished ceramicist, creating beautiful works from her home studio in Mooroopna.
Inspired by life's journeys, the local landscape, fellow potters, and a deep appreciation for handmade artistry, Kaye crafts the majority of her pieces on the wheel, skilfully shaping the clay into various forms.
She is widely known for her gentle matte glaze, which is meticulously smooth with a stone-like finish and often features speckled or mottled textures.
Her finished pieces are achieved through precise formulation and application techniques, resulting in a durable and aesthetically rich surface.
Kaye’s work is showcased in various notable locations, including the Shepparton Art Museum, Craft Victoria and Bendigo Pottery.
Constantly evolving and perfecting her signature style, her work is figurative and sculptural, and she finds immense joy and fulfilment in her craft, deriving deep satisfaction from the creative process and the intricate artistry of ceramics and sharing it with others.
Each piece she creates is imbued with her passion and dedication, reflecting her profound connection to the clay and the stories it tells through form and texture.
