I am a ceramic artist based in a small village on the Hampshire / Dorset border, on the edge of the New Forest National Park in the UK.

I make one of a kind sculptures and other items from stoneware clay which are decorated using oxides and glazes to add a pop of colour.  Each piece is created using either slab building techniques or thrown on a pottery wheel. Stoneware clay vitrifies during firings at high temperatures, making the pieces suitable for outdoor as well as indoor placements.

I have an active imagination; which is hugely influenced by reading folklore, mythology, sci-fi and inspired by the illustrations of Arthur Rackham, Alfred Bestall, Margaret Tarrent and Cicely Mary Barker to name but a few; All beautiful, classical and timeless fantasy illustrations; so if you see the odd pixie, imp or fairy pop up in my work you'll know why!

I feel I have a playful approach to working with clay; I love to experiment to see how far I can push the clay, sometimes it works and other times not so successful. I also introduce elements from other mediums and I am currently exploring the world of electroforming to add another dimension to my work.

I exhibit locally in craft & art fairs; and take part in the annual Hampshire Open Studios event. You can find my work at…
