"Small is Beautiful" - E. F. Schumacher
My environmentally-themed ceramic sculptures draw inspiration from gardening observations & my love of Nature’s natural forms. Having recently returned to Devon, I’ve become increasingly concerned by “climate changes” reducing our DAYLIGHT LEVELS. This problem was initially illustrated in my 12 oil paintings. These inspired my 5 “Messengers”, who are large colourful ceramic sculptures, over 500cms high.
My most recent series of sculptures make you look twice! They are called “The Enlighteners”, who spread consideration for other people.
I’ve developed my own wide range of Engobe colours that can be mixed & fired at stoneware temperatures, suitable for life out- or indoors. I have used them extensively for many years in my work.
I studied Ceramics and Painting to degree level. My work is owned across Europe & in Japan’s Tajimi Museum. I’ve had articles published including in Ceramic Review and have contributed to Anne Lightwood’s book on Paperclay.
