Found objects in the natural world continue to inspire my ceramic pieces. Whether I am walking on a beach or through a woodland I am compelled to pick up seeds, shells, fossils, cones or even interesting pieces of plant life.
I am particularly intrigued in objects that grow in a spiral arrangement like certain aloe plants, ammonite fossils and shells that consist of graduating whorls.
My work has started to reflect a more neutral colour palette which I can create by using certain clays as well as oxides to enhance the textured surfaces that I sculpt.
Elements from these natural objects seem to emerge in my hand-built work, they evolve intuitively into forms that become something ‘other’, but which try to capture an essence of nature, hopefully drawing the viewer in to take a closer look and deciding for themselves what the pieces evoke..

Biography
After gaining a BA in Fine Art from the University of Sunderland I went on to become an art therapist working within the NHS psychiatric system. Art as a valuable therapeutic tool has always interested me and more recently I undertook a Masters in Sculptural Practice at the Minories in Colchester where I explored this interest further.
