I have
            been a practicing artist for 25years, producing work for both
            exhibitions 

            and selected galleries throughout Australia and America. I have
            been lucky enough to travel extensively throughout the world
            and find that my work is often a reflection of those experiences.
            I enjoy producing decorative functional ceramics, which has both
            meaning and substance.

             

            The decorative process, which I use extensively in my work, is
            photographic screen-printing. The images are developed from old
            family photographs. The text which I have chosen, tell stories
            about early Australian social history. The maps illustrate fragments
            of journeys, which I have taken by both sea and land.     Shape,
            texture and form are of paramount importance and essentially
            the object has to be simple as I use it as a vehicle for story
            telling. 

                                                                                                                               

            Objects we use in our domestic environment are a deliberate choice,
            carefully chosen and often treasured.. I love the stark translucent
            qualities of porcelain. It is the perfect  surface  to
            decorate and  a wonderful surface to present food on. All
            my pieces are hand thrown or slipcast  and fired to1280-1300
            degrees celsius.
