From an initial training in painting, printmaking, and calligraphy, at Guildford School of Art, I've explored a wide range of materials and styles. Much of my current practice involves fusing ceramic and glass for mosaics and sculpture (I love the vibrancy of light passing through glass) often combining these pieces with reclaimed and found materials in 3-dimensional work.
In print-making I work with scanner-photography; the subject matter ranges from plant material to the surreal shapes of toys and industrial products, partly this is an expression of concern about our indiscriminate use of plastics and oil, & the huge impact of waste on the natural world.
Teaching includes mosaic & ceramic classes at my Harberton studio (July and September this year), & community projects such as the Heath's Garden mosaics with Grove School.
I enjoy being a co-ordinator for TTTAG, the Transition Town Totnes Arts Group and other artist-led groups such as the Art Farm Project, British Association of Modern Mosaics, Catalyst in Portsmouth, Incidental Imagery, & Teignbridge’s TRAIL.
