I have always been fascinated by people so it seemed natural to make human forms that have a tactile, sensual quality and shape that corresponds with so much I see in nature too. My purpose is always to present not just the outer form, but the essence of things, to generate an emotional response and fire up people’s imaginations.

The shapes that I create have been influenced by Hepworth, Moore and Brancusi to name a few. 

The enigmatic stone figures of Easter Island have also held a deep fascination in me and have influenced some of my work. Such feats of artistry and engineering of these Godlike statues pose many questions; maybe we will never know the answers. I like that in Art!

When I am not creating something from clay, I work in the Healing world where I offer Reiki, Meditations and Intuitive Therapy. So my spirituality is very much channelled into my practise. Sometimes my sculptures emerge directly through me, without any preliminary drawings and with great intensity, where clay is the perfect medium to work and re-work initially. Then many of my pieces take on new meaning through being cast in Bronze, a timeless and magnificent medium, which feels a natural progression to portray my sensual and tactile beings!

My aim is to combine my therapy/sculptural work and create meaningful pieces that hold therapeutic value and invite questions on our own mortality and spiritual connection to Mother Earth.
