I love to make amusing, colourful, performative ceramics that make people laugh and smile. Inspired by my curious imagination, combined with animal and people watching; I create clay three dimensional illustrations of animals, domestic and wild. All my pieces are hand built in stoneware fired clay and over the years I have been mainly known for my humorous cats; although I do create a menagerie of animals and birds. I have been working in ceramics for over 25 years and exhibit in galleries around the UK, as well as taking on private commissions
