Some days I paint, other days I potter… I make wheel-thrown stoneware pottery, designed for everyday use, and glazed with local clays. These pure clay slips interact with my celadon glazes to create spontaneous opalescent Chun effects. Further decoration is with small ammonite sprigs, wax or leaf resist, and sgraffito.

I paint figuratively, either from life or good quality photographs, on canvas or heavy paper, using acrylics, watercolour, pastels, or oils. The colours of my landscape palette are echoed in my pottery glazes, the greens, blues, earth-reds and browns of the hills, rivers, and old buildings of our infinitely inspiring local countryside.
