"The Deformation of Hope"

                                                         

                                                       About 

 I started my career as a chef eventually owning an outside catering business, a French Restaurant and while an artist a smootthie bar and cafe.          

I studied ceramics and glass at Plymouth University College of Art  and Design (HND), and three design in glass at Farnham University College of Art and Design (BA). I have been a practising artist for 26 years mainly making colourful glass lamps, bowls, and abstract sculptures until I changed to ceramics ten years ago. While at Plymouth I invented a new technique in fusing glass together, one of the few last century who invented different techniques.

​

My ceramic sculptures have two sides to them, like a two-page book, each one tells a  true story. Some of my ideas come from various people I have known over the years, or something that has stuck in my mind that made me laugh.

My sculptures are mainly ceramic, but I also use acrylic, gold and silver leaf, liquid gold and silver, resin, paper, and jewellery. My ceramics sculptures have been described as philosophical quirky Pop Art, which are mostly humorous. But some have a more serious theme, reflecting what I think of our spiralling out-of-control world.

​

After losing my workshop, I have moved on to collage and paint.

I have also had three children's books published.
