ABOUT
I have a strong desire that everything I use and look at, is a work of art of some sort. I design and make, with a sense of creating unique objects that will bring delight and pleasure. I work with the best materials I can find; this criteria means products that have as little impact on the environment as possible and are produced with ethical work practices. It is also important to me that my products can biodegrade at the end of their useful life or can be reformed.
I like to reproduce images and structures I see in nature, starting often with drawings which then become designs. I have a real sense of ‘raison d’être’ when I can share this with people who are inspired themselves by these same images and designs. Most of my work revolves around design and expressing it through various decorative art forms. I work as a fine wire sculptor, screen printer and painter. Making with wire enables me to bring my designs into 3D. The designs grow mostly from observing the amazing structures and beauty in the plants and trees in our gardens and countryside; they transfer easily between printing and wire work. I work from my studio near Bath where I have been creating for over fifteen years. |
