My work seeks to capture the essence of human and animal behaviour and is a response to my fascination with the power of body language and movement.

Each piece of work is a unique composition with striking features and fluid lines. Surface texture plays an important part and l enjoy exploring the huge potential of the clay and the firing process to deliver new finishes.

My latest work 'Streetlife' is inspired by images of urban scenes from the past and examines the attitude, emotion and humour displayed by kids growing up in a challenging urban environment.

I work from my studio in the Eden Valley in Cumbria from where l run residential courses during the spring and summer.

Adjoining my studio is Kirk Neuk Gallery where l display an extensive range of my work. We are open most days and you are very welcome to visit!
