About

Working in my studio in the Yorkshire Dales during this current Covid time I wanted to share my artwork with you.  As a self-employed artist for more than 30 years my creative endeavours have taken on many forms.  Originally, I trained as a sculptor, (BA hons: Sheffield Hallam and MA: VCU in the USA).  Since then I have turned my hand to teaching adults and youngsters, creating props and sets for theatre, installation and events, photographic performances as well as continuing my own work.

When not collaborating and just doing my own thing thoughts arise that then need expressing through the creative making process.  I may take a few years to get it ‘right’, but eventually it communicates back to me - then it’s done. Older work which evokes empty spaces where people have left, has more recently, been supplanted by abstract figurative sculpture and printmaking.
As a lifelong reader of fiction some words just roll around my mouth and brain.  Currently the word I am thinking of with its associative implications is that of ‘home’.  This is leading me to become fascinated by drying washing outside on the line!  ​​​​​​​
