ARTIST STATEMENT

​

My art encapsulates an intuitive making process with  chosen materials. By transferring motifs from paper, canvas, and print to clay, the products become enablers, to be developed back into the making experience.
 By examining aspects of identity, through walking in natural landscapes, I have responded to the experience and associated memories, en pein air and in the studio. This topographical journeying, creates a fragmentation of concepts, form, and materials. The risk taking and freedom to explore, has encouraged a ‘playful’ remaking, generating on-going development, towards restorative landscapes. 
I am drawn to the enabling and transformative value of creativity, for the individual and the collective, recognising its significance for well-being. With this in mind, I aim to develop my professional practice further within teaching and social engagement.
