Artists & Studios

I have been working, studying, lecturing and teaching in the areas of fibre arts and ceramics for 40 years. I love doing what I do, I love living where I live and I create my art work from my soul. Kahlil Gibran, the famous poet says that one’s work is ‘love made visible’. My art practice has a strong focus on obtaining colour from the earth’s minerals and plants using designs and techniques that reflect both primitive and contemporary art. I have always been fascinated by the detail of nature. With my background in ceramics and specialties in glaze technology and natural dyeing, I am fascinated by the combination of natural dyeing, flora and geological make-up, along with an area’s history and the underpinning anthropological story behind this rich visual tapestry, which provides me with never-ending creative inspiration
