My mission as an artist is to connect both myself and the viewer to nature, bringing my love of the coast and countryside into my ceramic practice. Through vessels and bottles, I aim to recreate the sense of calm and well-being that I experience when spending time outdoors, and to bring that feeling into people’s homes.

As my practice develops, my connection to nature will remain central. I currently collect coastal driftwood to mount some of my work onto, and I am beginning to experiment with found materials from the Warwickshire countryside. Natural textures from tree bark, leaves, and foliage are pressed directly into the clay, while the colours found in these environments often form the palette for my pieces.
