I graduated in the summer of 2007 with a First Class Honours Degree in Ceramics, ‘Best in show ‘award from Portmeirion and a bursary from the Craft Potters Association.

 

Since attending the Slade School of Art in the summer of 2008, I have been experimenting with colour, both in my oil paintings and my ceramics. The coast line, to the North of Lancaster is very special with gorgeous colourful beaches, and wonderful sunsets. This together with the slate found in the south Lakes has been my inspiration for colour.

 

I paint with a mixture of porcelain slip, recycled nylon fibre and newsprint, flax fibre and an assortment of oxides and stains. My paintings are spontaneous, capturing freshness and passion.

 

The surface quality that I have managed to achieve with the materials is most beautiful. I enjoy the ambiguity of making seemingly, decaying pieces of work from delicately thin, precious porcelain.
