It is important to me that each piece is not just looked at but can also be touched and therefore I make each unique piece, either hand built, press moulded or slip poured before adding slip for colour and natural elements such as sand, rice and seaweed etc to add pattern and texture.
Each piece starts with a painting...
Inspired by nature I source my ideas while walking near my home in the North York Moors, on the east coast and holidays in the UK and Europe.
Influenced by abstract designs, I make each individual piece a celebration of colour by mark making, often with everyday objects, which connects the viewer to the landscape.
My love of nature has led me to creating pieces for the garden and home which reflect areas of interest. Each piece is designed to fit perfectly with the nature surrounding it.
