Biography

Clay is such a tactile art form, my mission is to include the viewer by inviting them to handle the piece. I hope this gives a sense of participation in how the work was formed and create a connection between the artist, the prospective buyer and the piece.

inspiration

There’s so much inspiration that, for me, changes frequently. I particularly love nature and have a special love for the coast as I spent many years in Devon, Scotland and the south coast.
I’m fascinated by medieval art forms and the naivety of folk art which I try to insert into my pieces.

medium

I work with clay , wheel turned, hand building and sculpture. More recently I have been experimenting working with the different kiln process of Raku which is a very dramatic and exciting way of firing. It can create some wonderful and interesting textures and colours in the work. I also use black clay which has a slightly different structure and texture.
