ABOUT

From my studio in the heart of Edinburgh I combine traditional hand-built and industrial mould making techniques to create unique porcelain one-off pieces, small series of works and site-specific installations.

Inspired by the infinite array of forms in the botanical world my work explores the sculptural quality of plants, responding to their structure whilst selecting favourite composite shapes in order to create my own ceramic “hybrids”. I also draw inspiration from the huge collection of pressed plant specimens, impressive seed pods and pickled flowers and fruits stored in the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

A graduate of Gray’s School of Art Aberdeen, I have exhibited widely in the U.K. and internationally.
