​ I first found clay when I was 19, my very creative Aunt attended a local evening class, I simply tagged along with her. Little did I know it would be the start of a journey for little old me. A Fine Art degree, specialising in Ceramics, followed.

Whilst at Bretton Hall I drew a life model who was pregnant, being able to draw her ever changing body was a true privilege, the bodies shapes and curves has fascinated me ever since.

My female form pieces were born, these I have always made, various shapes and forms, they have evolved as I have. 

Lately, after watching The fabulous Great Pottery Throw Down, I decided to add the breasts, these I feel complete the pieces.

Mother Earth is the name of my current range, very apt as they are all female and marked using only natural combustibles, from the Earth.

Pinching the clay, I create various other forms, from Earth pots, to birdies and shoals of fish, all smoke fired, creating the magical marks on the pieces.

I create in my attic studio, hidden away where I blissfully play with mud. My little old electric kiln has served me well, housed safety in my porch. It came to me second hand and has been lovingly cared for ever since. 

Family is massively important to me, my greatest ambassadors are my family, I will always be grateful for their continued support, my son's have always encouraged me, loving even my ugliest of creations.... My husband is the best PA ever, he is my carpenter, my driver, my stall builder, my everything.

Living in  fabulous Yorkshire, is good for the soul, I am able to walk my dog whilst taking in all the wonderful scenery, Happy Days.
