I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a first class honours degree in ceramics and textiles I moved in to Cockpit Arts studios in Deptford IN September 2002.

My work is influenced by the working cycle of the agricultural landscape. My ceramic vessels reflect the containers that are used to collect, store and harvest within the farm environment.

I produce a range of decorative ceramics for the home made from fine sheets of paper porcelain, which are embossed with "salvaged" linens. The work is glazed on the inside with pale blues, greens and whites. My work has a delicate and textural feel.
