Born in Bermuda, my family moved to the Isle of Man shortly after and I grew up in the South of the Island. I became involved with ceramics and art at school then studied art IOM College, later furthering my education at Derby in the UK. I have been sculpting and traveling for over 30 years and currently reside between the Isle of Man and Prague in the Czech Republic.

My work is influenced by my surroundings, people and animals. I have a great interest in physical form and often the distortion of it. I try to create a frozen section of a story hopefully allowing the viewer to imagine the rest of the narrative.

I feel I create objects of beauty sometimes with humorous or dark or macabre tones. The work often translates my mood at the time of construction. There is no solid plan when I begin work on a piece and it often undergoes many transformations before completion. I don’t use sketches and work the piece through in my imagination as well as with the clay itself.

I have great love for travel, decorative art, nature and humanity, it’s my inspiration.

I have traveled, exhibited and sculpted in many countries around the world.
