Artist's Statement

I started making ceramics in the 80�s, inspired by the work of Janice Tchalenko and Sabina Teuteberg. I continue to enjoy working with colour and glaze to obtain exciting finishes on shapes which have their roots in both Japanese ceramics and 1920�s glass. Ceramics which can be used or just admired.
