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:

My latest series of paintings entitled, 'Wild Summer' were inspired by my wonderful long summer in the UK. After living in the Middle East for the past eight years I find whenever I return home I just can not get over the beauty of all the colours. This summer was unusual for the UK it was lovely long and warm. This series of paintings were inspired by the beautiful Devon countryside, absorbing all the wonderfully colourful wild summer flowers, wildlife and watching the sunlight dance through with the gentle summer breeze.
