I am an artist, designer and maker of handmade small batch ceramics and I am based in the beautiful small town of Steyning in West Sussex. I am a member of Steyning Arts and take an active role in local craft events such as art exhibitions, and the annual Steyning Arts Art Trail and Christmas Fair.
​
My interest in arts and crafts goes right back to my childhood but more specifically I fell in love with ceramics after taking a Raku course in Brighton many years ago. In 2006 I completed a BA Hons degree in fine art sculpture.
​
Creating art not only brings me immense joy, it grounds me, and has helped me navigate difficult periods in my life.
It all began with me attending a recycled textile course when suffering from postnatal depression. Making homewares, cushions, door stops, etc was extremely therapeutic and helped me through this difficult time. At the time I was truly grateful to have had that wonderful outlet which motivated me to create a sewing group for young mums presenting with all sorts of difficulties, which ran for many years.
​
Once again, the creative arts came to my rescue through my diagnosis and subsequent recovery from breast cancer some years later. It was only then that I rekindled my love of pottery and have not looked back as it brings me so much happiness.
