After a long career working in the media, I finally found the courage to do what I always wanted to do...live an artistic life. I first experimented with watercolour and oil painting, life drawing and Chinese brush stroke painting before finally discovering what would be my great love...clay. After 3 years of various courses and workshops, I created a studio in my beautiful Oxfordshire garden. The flora and fauna surrounding me and the changing seasons have consistently informed and inspired my work. Some of my favourite patterns and designs have come directly from plants. I am now producing a wide range of homeware including lamps, bowls and vases. I occasionally indulge in a spot of sculpture.
