Welcome to my web site

I am on my own journey which includes expression and discovery through my Books, Prints and  3 dimensional work.   The diverse skills I have learnt over the years have driven my development as an artist.  I love language - the nuances of meaning - the development of thought.   I am inspired by the natural world, particularly plant form & landscape.  I have spent a lot of time on the North Yorkshire coast and am haunted by the expanse of skies and relentless sea in all its moods. Following a winter of wonderful dawn skies at my home in Derbyshire I have found new expression of this in my current ceramics. 

I find my main means of expression is through 3D work, mainly my ceramics and sculptural books - which have their own space.  I work mainly with folded book forms, which emerge as a response to the subject.  Many of my books are computer generated using my photographs, artwork and my own or borrowed words.  I also create limited edition books from etchings, and  monoprints, creating unique books, often with collaged elements.

I  have been involved with creating work in clay, mainly sculptural, over many years, often just as a means of self expression. Over the last few years I have developed my hand-building techniques. I particularly love the organic nature of pinch pots, moulding a ball of clay into a vessel. But I have also come very interested in decorative techniques, which seem to be a natural development from my printmaking. At present I am using transfer techniques, almost collages using clay and pigments. I have found that slab built ceramics lend themselves to this form of decoration.
