My working practise is driven by our coastal environment. I have always loved the inter-tidal spaces, an area part land/part sea, ever changing with the tides ebb & flow, natures weather patterns revealing treasure on every walk.
I am an established ceramic artist, working from my studio in Cambridge, selling works for the last 15 years via galleries, annual ceramic events & competitions. I split my time between coastal visits gathering source material & studio work playing with clay.
Moving away from smaller collections to one-off contemporary sculpture, the work has become increasingly influenced by historical land defences, sea salt corrosion, wild weather dereliction, extreme landscapes of the wild north coast of Cornwall to the devastating soft sands & chalky clay scapes of the Eastern coast. There is a constant battle between nature and our manmade environment, growing more prominent with climate change, pollution, fighting coastal structures.
