My formative years were spent in Northern England, where I attended art school and had a career in visual presentation. I’m now privileged to live and have an art practice on Hornby Island. Using ceramic, metal, willow, vines, cane and found objects, my work is a combination of functional wares (plates, bowls, pitchers, etc.), sculpture, and installation pieces in a palette of neutral, white, black and grey tones. Often raw and organic, for me, making art is an intuitive process, and my recent work is heavily influenced by Hornby Island life … locally sourced willow, pit firing and nature finds are among some of the materials that are incorporated into my art pieces.
