My work is based around my son. He is my inspiration, my muse if you like. I work in contemporary tableware as well as sculptural ceramics. I utilise mixed media, so I have used processes such as liquid light*, photography, transfers, wood and natural materials. I have also experimented with different firings such as saggar, raku and smoke.
My work is about the fragile nature of the growing child and how they look at the world, including life and death.
I like my work to have a function, but in some cases this function is purely for display.
I work mainly on the jigger jolly with plaster moulds in order to have consistency in my work. I am not a perfectionist, but I do like order to my Art, often working in threes. I like to think that I add some elements of the golden ratio into my work, as this is something you find in nature everywhere.
My work develops as I develop, and as my son grows.



* Liquid light; This is when you paint a viscuos substance on to a fired surface, in order to make this surface become light sensative, like photographic paper.
