2026- Taking part in Potfest South East – Glynde Place, Potfest by the Lake – Compton Verney, Potfest South West- Shaftesbury and Potfest Suffolk – Haughley Park

My work is inspired by the Mediterranean landscapes of my childhood: stone villages, crumbling castles, medieval churches and archaeological sites. I am fascinated by the lives witnessed by these old walls, the stories sometimes left untold, sometimes pieced back together from fragments.

Through my work, I examine questions about identity, searching for roots and connexions, looking at surfaces and finding hidden structures.
