Form has always been central to my work; the three dimensional presence that draws the eye and displaces space in such a way as to create a communication of beauty inviting the viewer to a closer intimacy.
In order to realize my art form, I have come to terms with hybrid or cross disciplinary practices using quasi industrial processes. I have married modern technologies with an ancient craft by incorporating the use of the computer, vinyl cutter and sandblaster to facilitate an experimental approach to my work through layering. I am now combining the printmaking techniques of screen printing, etching and computer generated decals with the traditional craft skills of ceramics.

I think of myself as an explorer and innovator within my field. I am attempting to bring Overglaze, which encompasses china paints and lustre, into our contemporary thinking and hope that I can influence others into these different approaches as the china painting world was dying at a rapid rate. I have the mind of a potter and not a painter. I love a challenge and it is this that keeps driving my work forward.
I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and skills that I have acquired.
