Artist statement


I have worked as an artist for over twenty years, in a variety of materials. My sculptures are always strongly influenced by my everyday life.
People and animals met on daily dog walks set the seed of an idea. The materials then come into play and direct each piece’s development. I use found materials wherever possible, giving each figure a strong character. These materials give a sense of a history to the existence of each piece.
All surface colours and patterns are from papers and books giving an aged and subtle finish. The only paint being the tiny lips. Each resulting piece is unique.

Where can you see my work
