'Bastion' 2019. Limited edition in Bronze. .
I studied ceramics for six years graduating from Bristol with an Honours Degree in Ceramics and then from Cardiff with a Master of Arts Degree in Ceramic Design in 1990.
After studying I lectured for five years at Camberwell College of Arts and also at Falmouth school of Art whilst establishing myself as a studio ceramicist.
I became a Crafts Council selected member in 1991, travelling under their umbrella to exhibit at major events such as the Gift fairs in New York , San Francisco and with early representation
by Adrian Sassoon and Contemporary Applied Arts amongst numerous galleries in both the UK and USA.
I exhibit regularly at many of the leading UK Craft, Design and Ceramic Fairs, as well as being represented at European Art fairs by my Gallery in The Netherlands.
Over the last few years I have been working with a foundry to cast my sculptures in bronze, which has offered a scope of scale not afforded with slip cast ceramics.
My designs are collected and exhibited worldwide and there are examples in several museums in the UK.
