Business Details

I have been working with clay for about 30 years now both in New Zealand and overseas. This year I have been looking into colour and textures. My work is very bright and unique.

One off original hand painted sculptures to functional domestic wear. I use both wheel thrown and hand building techniques.

Getting "back into the paints" after years of landscape design has meant I can reflect my surroundings in acrylic paints and graphite pencil rather than mould them with structures and plants. I am often on or overlooking an ocean or sea and the water has always been a big influence on my life and works. 

My current works are on plywood, canvas and paper and recently I've been exploring the colour of light. I'm tending towards the abstract and hoping to leave an impression with the viewer of "I've been there or felt that myself.”
