From my studio in Hampshire, I began working with clay in retirement, a new direction that has since developed through both hands-on making and formal study. I am currently studying for a BA in Art and Contemporary Craft at West Dean College, and I am an active member of the Romsey Art Group, where I value being part of a supportive and creative community.

My work explores the relationship between nature and time, focusing on how natural processes erode, reclaim, and reshape surface and form. I am drawn to how decay and erosion reveal traces of forgotten histories, and how these processes connect to themes of ageing, identity and family.

I work sculpturally with ceramic, metal, and plaster, drawing inspiration from organic and irregular forms such as shells, husks, and the human body. Making is central to my practice. I respond to materials as I work, from the feel of clay in my hands to the urgency of plaster and the unpredictability of the kiln, allowing these processes to shape the final pieces.

My sculptures often feature rough or broken surfaces that suggest fragility and loss, alongside smoother or glossy areas that convey strength, endurance, and lasting beauty. My practice is personal, expressed through visual clarity and sensual engagement, creating tactile works that invite close looking and exploration from all sides. Through transformation, I explore change as an active force that gives the work meaning beyond its surface.
