Sculptural & Functional Ceramics
Perfectly Imperfect
Inspired by the Estuary
As a ceramic artist, my work is deeply inspired by my love of swimming and the water. I'm especially drawn to the tides, textures, and tranquil rhythm of our local estuary."
The Beauty of Imperfection.
I create ceramics that embody mindfulness, simplicity and a quiet sense of calm; inspired by my time in and around water.
CELADON CRACKLE
Intentional. natural. Unique
As the clay and glaze cool at different rates – the glaze gently splits and crackles, forming a web of fine, delicate lines.
The intricate network of lines reminds me of the dancing patterns of sunlight shifting across the bottom of lakes and pools when I swim.
Please Note
- Every Vessel is one of a kind
- The appearance will continue to develop in use
- This is a defining feature, adding unique character
Thank you for appreciating my handcrafted ceramics
Tactile & Organic Forms
I use wheel throwing, handbuilding, mold making, and the traditional Japanese Kurinuki technique to create organic, tactile forms.
Alongside my functional vessels, I explore mixed media sculptures & themes - creating exhibition pieces that allow me to work freely and experimentally
Exhibitions
Leigh Art Trail — What Remains Hidden.
"WHAT REMAINS HIDDEN"
Past exhibition shown at the Leigh Art Trail in July 2026
Explored the unseen emotional and physical landscapes of the human heart, highlighting the complex traumas and vulnerabilities we so often carried.
Porcelain was chosen as the primary medium for its unique beauty and dual nature: an enduring strength to survive pressure, and an exquisite fragility when exposed to the world.
Each piece stood as a silent monument to the resilient human spirit.

Dragon Heart
Symbolising a purely protective but fierce unwieldy love. This heart is personally quite poignant as it reminds me of the unconditional love toward my favourite human in this World, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

The heart is almost fully formed and in a state of repair. It represents its resilience and ability to adapt, recover, and miraculously grow in the face of adversity.
