I was recently contacted by creativpaper asking if I would like to be included in their next edition of the magazine. I accepted and was asked to answer their very different and interesting questions for an on line interview to accompany some images of my most recent sgraffito pieces.
A while ago I created a small selection of reptile pieces which I have wanted to develop, in this series I had also made some drawings of frogs and geckos. Their colours are just so incredible and they appeal to me as they live in the branches of trees and plants allowing me to research […]
I threw this piece a while ago and you may recognise the large form from an earlier post. Sometimes I have an idea of exactly how the design is going to work on a piece and sometimes it’s just a feeling. I knew I wanted to try somethings a little different with this one and […]
It was one of those lovely days at my studio where everything just fits into place. It was calm outside and I had my favourite opera playing in the background ‘the magic flute’. It’s very easy to lose yourself in throwing and I do find time runs away with you. I always have pieces at […]

Here I have written a short history of how the public fell in love with these mysterious birds and how John Gould’s beautiful books have been an inspiration to me. I have started to sketch and water colour designs for two large vessels using the King of Saxony bird of paradise and King bird of […]
Whilst staying in London I decided to visit the Sunny Art Centre who carry a small selection of my work I was very pleased to find they had used the image of my Scarlett Skimmer Dragonfly vessel to help advertise the gallery. Here are links to some of the online interviews and magazines I have […]
