I am a Ceramic Sculptor, working from our own studio at home. Making animals reflects my love of wildlife and the great outdoors, and through my sculpture I hope to pass on that enjoyment and to emphasise the need to conserve and care for the world around us.
Camping safaris in Kenya in 2000 and again in 2003 enabled me to get close to the immense variety of wildlife in Africa. I draw many ideas for my work from my experiences there, and in our own beautiful Devon countryside.
Generally, I build from solid using Stoneware or Raku body and then hollow out. After bisque firing, the pieces are glazed or stained and then fired for the last time.
During the past twelve months I have exhibited at Griffins Yard in South Molton, the Burton Gallery in Bideford, Broomhill Arts Hotel, the Appledore Festival and in our own studio for Art Trek 2007. |
