About me
Equipped with a keen, positive attitude, I have 10 years experience working and volunteering within many different sectors, all of which have challenged my knowledge, skills and capabilities.

  • The Paxton Centre
    The Paxton CentreI am currently selling a collection of ceramic vases at The Paxton Centre in Crystal Palace, London. They celebrate the beauty and complexity of the female form. I am currently working on a sister collection that mirrors the ones being sold. So, instead of using pink I am going to use yellow. Exact same shape, number of vases and speckled glaze.
  • Red Euphoria

Unveiling ambiguous shapes, collapsed buildings and flattened sails, I told a story of a vessel travelling between lands. Through the use of paper I echoed the trees and wooden body of the ship. The waves were motored by subtly placed pulling tabs. Shadows and lighting elevated flat levels of surface and the chaotic buildings cut bold angles into the sea. From the use of
  • Wobble Vessels
    Wobble VesselsNo more than six inches tall, these hourglass shaped vessels are an interpretation of movement and bodily change. Small and intimate, they evolved from the rotational force of being thrown on the wheel. They are the product of the relationship between myself the artist, my body and clay. When considering the names of which given to a ceramic vessel I.e. neck, shoulders, body and feet, it only feels right to compare them to that of a woman.
