About
The inspiration for my work comes from an overwhelming love and fascination with the natural world and story telling. My paper sculptures are constructed from wire, papermache, relevant pages from vintage books and recycled cotton rag papers. Using recycled/reclaimed materials I aim to bring an environmental focus to my work. My ceramic pieces are hand built in stoneware and/or porcelain paper clay. I absolutely love the versatility and endless possibilities of working with clay. I aim to depict expressive character and narrative within all the work I create.
