I am a largely self-taught artist and potter, drawing in soft pastel producing mainly landscape but becoming more abstract recently.

I hand build all my pots using pinching, coiling, slabbing and modelling techniques. I make bowls, bottles, plates, lamp-bases and clocks. I use features from the landscape on my pots, mountains, streams and beaches occur frequently and also weathered doors, windows and stone walls.

I have exhibited my work in local exhibitions over many years, regularly in the Southport Palette Club annual exhibition and exhibitions with the Art and Craft Guild of Lancashire
