I live and work in north Essex, my studio is surrounded by farmland.
During Higher Education I studied Fine Art and became interested in ceramics.
My education included a diploma by Independent study, where I concentrated on ceramics. I lived for many years in London, where I made ceramics sporadically, in makeshift studios, while I earned my living working in the building trade, as a plasterer and decorator.
Moving back to my roots, I have for the last few years been a dedicated artist, producing a variety of ceramics, exhibiting in galleries across the UK.
This is my studio. In the snow. Nestled in the valley. A converted garage, surrounded by gently rolling hills of north Essex countryside.
All my work is inspired by landscape. I build pieces by hand, sometimes by assembling slabs, and sometimes by coiling. Each stage takes time and has its own meaning. Mark making demands that I stay in the moment. Pieces are usually fired several times before they are completed.
