Artist Information
Clay and found objects are at the heart of my practice, alongside a focus on how materials feel in the hand. I make imprints in the clay as a way to record a time, a place, a feeling.
My central practice is ceramics, but I also make prints, drawings and installations from these processes.
I have been a practicing artist since completing a ceramics degree in 1989, and alongside this have had jobs in galleries, as well as an artist facilitator strand to my practice, supporting creativity and wellbeing in others by using clay in an exploratory way. Most recently I have worked with the Pathways to Wellbeing Gardeners Lodge Art Group at the Holburne Museum, Bath, and as an artist mentor at House of Imagination.
My work is in an outdoor public space, as well as private collections in the UK and other countries. Work can always be seen and purchased by appointment at my studio in Batheaston near Bath.

I am currently also working at the Art Shop at Bath Spa University.
