I am a ceramic artist working from my home studio in Glasgow, Scotland. I fell in love with clay by accident after i was given a ball of the stuff at the start of my degree course at the Glasgow School of Art in 1992. I graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Ceramic Design in 1996 and after bringing up my family and years of working in retail , I finally purchased my own kiln a few years ago and have been making full time ever since.

Through my work I hope to capture the essence of the landscape around us with its vernacular architecture and ever changing colours and textures. My pieces, made from solid and hand built earthenware clay, seem to resonate with people because they represent that feeling of home or a place that they have once been.
