MY Art

Creativity and exploration are vital to my equilibrium. This often simply happens through drawing, collage or a simple Insta snap. Periodically an idea will grow inside me until I am bursting to birth a one-off piece or group of sculptures, these are often ceramic and occasionally mixed media.

The core of my inspiration is play through art. A deep belief that it is crucial to stay childlike and playful through infancy if we are to remain happy and healthy. I experiment with a range of materials and processes, which typically manifests in ceramic sculpture.

“I believe in finding what ignites your soul and in designing your life in accordance with it. I choose my own individual style, free from the constraints of trends and disposable fashion – things which put a strain on people an our planet. My experience of other cultures and my spiritual relationship with nature feed my unique self-expression.”
