In my handbuilt pieces I try to explore and understand the properties and language of clays. I am constantly experimenting with different elements including, forexample, time, space, nature, geometry, lines and curves. And with the impact of firing on all these elements.
I am also fascinated by the texture of different materials and how they interact with different glazes. My stoneware pieces can have the texture of craters, cracks and bubbles while my porcelain can resemble delicate silk or moss. They are all surfaces to touch or simply to be viewed and enjoyed in everyday settings.

I enjoy contemplative, slow painting. Oil has always been my favourite medium and I love experimenting with edges and texture. I also explore values, hues and therelationship between light and shadow – all in an attempt to create vibrant, striking pieces of art.
