about
I create simple, contemporary ceramic sculptures, wallhangings and tiles.
My sculpture, usually figuartive are three-dimensional forms reminiscent of a line drawing or a simple illustration. Together or alone they bestow the essence of fairytale or myth. Often androgynous, their individuality is revealed by a simple characteristic, a bird, a tree or a building.
Working in both stoneware and porcelain I handbuild using coiling and slab building techniques. To decorate I use porcelain slip with stains and oxides, firing in an electric kiln.
After graduating from Camberwell College of Art in 1994, I began working at the Bethlem Royal Hospital in Kent facilitating creative workshops for people experiencing mental health problems. For over 10 year I managed a thriving art department and established The Bethlem Gallery, a professional exhibition space to showcase the artwork of the many talented and inspirational artists I met at the hospital, alongside developing my own work from my studio in South London. I left the Bethlem in 2009 to set up a ceramics studio in suffolk, where I also continue to run workshops with galleries, community groups and schools.
