I live and work in Northumberland near the small town of Allendale where I have the freedom to experiment with smoke and fire to create my ceramics sculptures of stylised fossils and prehistoric arrowheads.

I have always loved wilderness and desert like landscapes with their hidden diversity. Changes made by human activities, settlement, agriculture and mining are scratched on the surface of these lands.  My work reflects the contrasting surfaces and textures that I see all around me and inspiration comes from observing the constant changing landscape of the North Pennines.
