About Artist:

My passion is design. I am driven by the endless possibilities of being creative and all the challenges that go with it. I specialise in figurative Sculpture and Paintings. Art I am completely lost in my own world of creativity when sculpting. I find true peace and enjoyment while building a three dimensional work of art. I especially like the Smoke fired technique to Finnish, which is unpredictable, full of risk, no two pieces can ever be the same. This I find, is where the excitement of the techniques and results lie. I combine the traditional making and firing techniques of India and Africa with a contemporary interpretation. The simplicity of form unites with rich decoration to create work of vibrant and dynamic character, enhanced by the polished surfaces which stimulate the tactile senses, creating a sense of timelessness about my work. I like my figurative work both sculpture as well as mixed media paintings to resemble all kinds of human circumstances. I see it as a way to recognise and identify with our own lives and how we relate to one another.

About Artwork:

I have drawn inspiration for a new series of paintings entitled 'Morning Mist' from memory of cold wintery misty morning walks with my dog. I can see the still cold morning trees reflecting in water. These memory's are alive with nostalgia providing endless inspiration for my paintings.
