Curriculum Vitae

Artist's statement

I am enthused by the plasticity of clay, its universality, and its potential as a vehicle for narrative of personal and shared mythologies. Created from earth and water, fused and coloured by alchemic processes. It is forged into ceramic by fire and is a wonderfull material for producing expressive works. I am passionate about horses, their interaction with humans and the environment and love to work towards encouraging greater appreciation of their spirit through ceramic forms with their tactile and visual aesthetics.
