I was born on Merseyside, went to Southport College of Art then decided to do Ceramics - BA Hons at Cardiff College of Art. Farmwork followed, then travels across Eire, where I lived and exhibited for seven years. Restrictions with the dimensions of ceramics led on to working with Papier Mache. (with high proportions of resin glue -stronger than wood itself- so not in any way fragile!) My work has been strongly influenced by African countries; long before travelling through Kenya I had fallen in love with the colours, rhythms and balance of their people. I also have a passion for the coast, anywhere in the world but starting with my childhood, a chalet at Harrison Drive, the Mersey and out to sea. The smell of the coast and the changing light is enough to enthuse, but the movement and space excites me throughout. Work, through drawings and paintings and now sculpture, has recently become more abstract - a natural abstraction that will soon move into 3D sculpture.
