“Artists should imprint their handwriting on the work, because if they give a piece to a fabrication studio the craftsmen there may actually be too perfect; you don’t see the quirks that the artist would have developed”
Fascinated by Texture
Fascinated by texture and working materials by hand, I have a very varied practice that ranges from direct representations of Nature through to bold abstract patterns and forms in a wide range of materials and finishes. The work shown here ranges from statement jewellery pieces in silver, gold and porcelain through to ceramic vessels, both sculptural and functional, in porcelain, stoneware, terracotta and wild clays.
My Instagram feed offers images of new pieces while there are images of past work in my Portfolio and an ever changing range of pieces that may be purchased via the Shop.
