BLOOD CRATER
This was an experimental sculpture to work out how to generate the cloud/crater like forms. The undulations are perhaps too uniform and not random enough, though the glaze is a success. A layering of strong red glossy glaze on top of an orange base helps create a mottled rich surface that brings life to the work. (Private collection, Notting Hill London UK).
BLOOD CRYSTAL IN MIDNIGHT ELEMENT
This was exhibited at the Royal College of Art Degree show and the British Ceramics Biennial. A blood red crystal is encased within a cobalt blue grid-like mesh. The mesh acts as an affliction on the crystal and a method of protection. Studying the growth of crystal formations, bone and microscopic structures brought this piece into existence. It was hand built and high fired three times to attain the glossy mottled crystal surface and coarse bone effect which makes it feel alive and evokes awareness of transition and ephemerality. (Private collection, Notting Hill London UK).

Crystalline Cloudscape was made in early 2021. It was shown with CAA Gallery at the London Art Fair in 2022 where there were works of contemporary art relating to music. I connect with the pulse in head, heart and hands. Flowing and jarring rhythmical progressions and digressions are translated. Tintinnabulation runs through the body, conjuring up dynamism. The beat goes on, giving way to work becomming alive where movement, mood and melody ripples with sensual emotion. Through three-dimesnional hand-built form and glazed surface, sculptures generate a dialogue of depth, curiosity and character. (Private collection, courtesy CAA Gallery).
CRYSTALLINE CLOUDSCAPE GREEN GOLD
This is the first of the Crystalline Cloudscapes made in 2020. The glazes were created during the first 2020 lockdown. (Private collection, courtesy Alveston Fine Art).
CYPRESS MORPHON
This is without doubt, one of the most structurally complex pieces the artist has made. It was lucky to survive the firings as has no solid base to rest on and had to be fired on handmade clay props. Cypress Morphon was made during the final year of the artist's time at the Royal College of Art and sold soon after the degree show. The owner passed away in late 2017 and the piece was re-purchased in early 2018 and shown with Pik'd Gallery in Beirut, Lebanon where it sold in mid 2018.

ESTOILE LILY
Estoile Lily was made in the artist's grandma's shed during the summer of 2021. A star shaped creature resides within the Lily, being contained and restricted by the form. The flower plays with concepts of organic versus geometric, harsh and soft, solid yet open structures. These polar opposites remind one that life is fleeing and ambigious. Both fragility and lust for life are reflected within the land and sea-like sculpture. It featured in CAA Gallery's July 2023 showcase where it sold. (Private collection).
ET PHONE HOME
The title of this piece references Stephen Spielberg's film. In the film ET, an alien tries to communicate with his own family via telephone. ET faces and telephones grow throughout the piece, forming part of a larger organic form. The phones suggest that through communication via technology, there is a lack of physical intimacy. Shiva, the Hindu Goddess of destruction and regeneration rises at the top with a flower bud head. (Private collection).
FISHY DUCKY BUNNY TREES
Coloured clays were used in the making of this piece as glazing the tree branches different colours would be an impossible task. Fish, ducks and rabbits float amongst the hands and feet branches. Faces surround the trunks and are submerged in the roots. This is reminiscent of illustrations from fairytales and the Buddha head in tree roots at Wat Phra Mahathat in Thailand. (Private collection, London UK).
FOOKIE FOOKIE
This piece was bought by a collector of erotic art. It is concerned with the transition from childhood to adulthood.

GLADSTONE BOUQUET
The construction of the flowers in this work allude to the bone china flower making from the Gladstone pottery in Stoke-on-Trent.

(Private collections, Hampstead and Mile End London UK).
GRESHAM
This was a commission piece to celebrate Gresham private equity company. It takes on a classical form where three tapering arms join together to encase a central flower with scroll like leaves. A tiny beetle walks along the purple glazed surface and the three glaze colours selected reflect the company colours. (Gresham Private Equity, London UK).
GROWTH AND DECAY
An early piece based on a seed head, using grogged clay and no glaze. (Private collection, UK).
HAPPY NEW YEAR
A collage sold at Gallery 286 in Earls Court, London 2013. The piece depicts an amorphous woman in heart handcuffs with fingers on fire lit by matches wearing Santa Claus hats. She rides a white unicorn rocking horse. The text below hints at how activities can be used to fill voids. A family of rubber ducks sit on the rocking base and a frog waits patiently to be kissed so he can turn into a prince. (Private collection, Folkestone UK).
HEAL THE WORLD
The title makes reference to a famous Michael Jackson song and the collage represents the excess of society and the opposite extremes in third world countries. Gold hands reach out and collaged fruit tumble out of cornucopias. (Private collection, London UK).

HIGHER POWER PLANT
This work explores the relationship between humanity and the natural world, with evolution as the ultimate concern. All life is transient and impermanent. The role of the artist is to capture a fleeting moment in time and present this to the world, so as to encourage debate in the here and now. It is this questioning that gives meaning and pleasure to human existence. This still life plant form typically demonstrates this purpose. This plant form was inspired by the giant Lobelia Deckenii seen on Mt Kilimanjaro where the leaf structure starts falling downwards having been growing upwards. The piece is painted with a white engobe to allow the natural light to cast shadows off the sculpture. (Private collection, Earls Court London UK).

INNOCENT WRIGLEY LIFE SAVERS (SIBLINGS)
These form part of a family of five, where all siblings have been sold to different homes leaving only the parents remaining. The wriggly nature of tentacles fascinates the artist as this mimics human fears where all is inconsistent and irrational. The boxing gloves provide protection and defence against fears. The piece has been referred to as 'Squiddly Diddly', an animated squid from the 1960's. (Private collection, London, UK).
INSIDE OUTSIDE
This piece was developed at the Royal College of Art in the artist’s first year. It was made in response to the title ‘In Support of Eating’ and is intended for use as a sculptural fruit bowl.

(Private collection, London UK).
KING DUMMIE STEERING, ALL FEARING WORKIN' WIZZA
This piece represents the hard working business man where juggling of many balls is necessary to survive. Hence the ball like arms seen here which mimic robots arms and can whizz around all different angles.

He has hearts on his face and polka dot legs with frogs sprouting from his feet. A gorilla emerges from his underside with a man in a suit. (Private collection, UK).

MOON CRATER
This was an experimental piece to work out how to create the cloud/crater like forms, typical of the artist’s work. This is an evocative piece bringing to mind craters on the moon. It was labelled ‘Lacy Knickers’ by the artist’s tutor at the Royal College of Art, due to its sensuality and colour. A volcanic glaze was used to enhance the lumps and bumps of the cloud form and it was fired twice to produce the dense holes that one can see into. (Private collection, Cambridge UK).
MOONLIGHT SUNSHINE BABY CLOUD BUNDLES I AND II
A similar version of this sculpture was made in 2017 just before the show Cracked, curated by Courtenay Moon at 50 Golborne Road, London.

They were made for the Orton Cone Box Show 2016 but were not shown and instead sold with Pamono, a one-of-a-kind market place specialising in design objects and the stories behind them. Inspired by microscopic forms such as pollen seeds, the attention to shape and surface was important in order to create an atmosphere of strange alternative life forms with these miniature sculptures. (Private collection, Wellingborough Northants UK).
OCTOPUSSY GALORE
This is the largest octopus made by the artist. It's name derives from an Bond movie because it has pussy cats surrounding the base in between each tentacle.

The arms and legs are decorated with diamonds and polka dots suggesting the clown like tendencies of the piece. (Private collection, London UK).
PUNK CLOUDS
Punk Clouds was made in the winter of 2021 for the London Art Fair 2022 with CAA Gallery. It was shown at Platform, a part of the fair where there were works of contemporary art relating to music. I connect with the pulse in head, heart and hands. Flowing and jarring rhythmical progressions and digressions are translated. Tintinnabulation runs through the body, conjuring up dynamism. The beat goes on, giving way to work becomming alive where movement, mood and melody ripples with sensual emotion. Through three-dimesnional hand-built form and glazed surface, sculptures generate a dialogue of depth, curiosity and character. (Private collection, courtesy CAA Gallery).

A butterfly with human hand abdomen holds up a halo over the cat, transforming it into an icon. Daisy flowers adorn the piece representing innocence and the transience of life where plants grow and decay amidst struggles to survive. The mother figure has one animated arm and another with triffids. Red roses or intestine forms surround the body, hinting at sexual reproduction. The cat's long neck was inspired by Japanese Geisha and Modigliani’s paintings. Black symbolises independence, red suggests sexuality and death, whilst the white halo and daisy's represent purity. (Private collection, London UK).

SAFE HANDS MUGS
This popular series of double handled mugs were developed at the Royal College of Art in the artist’s first year. They were inspired by porcelain salt glazed Staffordshire house teapots made around 1750 and were designed to be used with this teapot. The mugs act as people who would have lived in the house and they remind one of the connection containers have with the body, where both are regarded as life forces. The mugs are slip-cast in porcelain and have domestic embossed wallpaper and bandaged surfaces which mimic Egyptian Mummies. Keys have been modelled onto each mug character to help visually imagine the unlocking of the teapot house. Gold lustre has been applied to the key and inside. (Private collections).
SEA MINT BABY CLOUD BUNDLES I AND II

(Private collection, courtesy Cynthia Corbett Gallery).
SEX POT
‘Jugs’ is a slang word used today to describe women’s breasts as both carry milk. ‘Sex Pot’ is a witty pouring object deliberately depicting a woman’s breast with a hole in the nipple to pour liquid through. This piece was made in response to ‘Skangaroovian Funk Revisited’, a show at The Art Gallery of South Australia in 2013. The exhibition documented pottery from the Skangaroovian Funk movement which took place in Adelaide in the late 1960s and 1970s where Pop art sensibility was juxtaposed with the history of decorative ceramic art. The artist felt the need to create something whimsical so as to break away from life’s routine and place herself off kilter. All ceramic pouring objects have personalities, be it serious or humorous and this is determined by the human act of pouring. The generosity of internal space, where the void is celebrated as a giver of life along with the possessing of human-like qualities such as a lip, arm and belly help determine the character of the pouring object. True to the ceramics movement in Adelaide, the artist did not set out to make this pouring object classically beautiful, well-balanced and light weighted as a successful jug should be. She would describe it as being well-made and crude. It has been hand-built and press moulded. It is glazed in bright glossy earthenware colours with a small amount of 22 carat gold lustre to enhance the entertaining nature of the work. The piece was exhibited at 'Pour Me' at The Devon Guild of Craftsmen in 2017 where it was sold. (Private collection, UK).
SHARK ATTACK WITH VERRUCA VULGARIS
A sentiment of enquiry surrounds this piece, depicting an orange aged barnacle poised on an electric blue starfish-like creature with turquoise spikes. The often overlooked detail of microscopic structures has been observed in order to create this piece which forms a part of the Creature series. The strange animated quality transports the observer away from reality and summons reflection upon authenticity and impermanence. There is a conflict and alliance formed between the two forms which the artist’s parallels with human emotions. The multiple fired earthenware matt, crusty and glossy glazes enhance the dialogue and unique persona surrounding this work. (Private collection, Notting Hill London UK).
SHEEPLE
Sheeple was created in the Autumn of 2021. The body of the sculpture was made in the artist's grandma's shed. The title is a combination of the words sheep and people, meaning that the person or persons are acting as a group or only to behave based on what is trending. Sheeple sold with Pik'd Pieces in early 2023. (Private collection).
SNAIL ON TWEETIES IN AUTUMN CROCUS
This piece is from a collection made specially for a gallery show in France based on Autumn vegetables and fruits.

SPIKEY AND BLOBBY SUBSERVIENT CREATURES
These pieces are inspired by the photography of Rob Kesseler where there is a pleasure to be found in plant life magnified. Each spike and blob has been carefully modelled and treated as if it was an individual sculpture. The shape of a blob/spike was important in determining what shaped blob/spike to put next to it. These works have been fired many times to build up richness of glaze surface. The curious ambiguous nature of these sculptures is something the artist feels proud of. (Private collection, Putney London UK).
SPIKEY SUBSERVIENT CREATURE COMMISSION
This piece is inspired by the photography of Rob Kesseler where there is a pleasure to be found in plant life magnified. Each spike has been carefully modelled and treated as if it was an individual sculpture. The shape of a spike was important in determining what shaped spike to put next to it. The piece has been fired many times to build up the richness of glaze surface. The curious ambiguous nature of this work is something the artist feels proud of. (Private collection, LA USA).
SPIKEY SUBSERVIENT CREATURE
This is the third Spikey Subservient Creature. It was created specially for Cloudspotting, a solo show with Jason Jacques Gallery in NYC from Oct to Nov 2019. The photogaphy of Rob Kesseler informed this sculpture where there is an understanding of life's impermanence through observation of microscopic plant life. To the artist, the strangenss of nature emulates the strangenss of humanity where not all makes sense. (Private collection, courtesy Jason Jacques Gallery).

STEROID SMURFS
A humorous and macabre piece made using coloured clays to comment on the ingestion of steroids to create an ideal male body where nature is pushed in favour of artificial extremes. (Private collection, Brussels Belgium).
STRAW SEA SHORE BERRY
A piece inspired by the poem, 'The Man in The Wilderness' by Chris Stephens where strawberries grow in the sea. Each strawberry pip was made by hand and toy fishes were cast to serve as leaves with man in a top hat modelled as the stalk. A yellow crab rests on a fish leaf. This piece provides a perfect balance between surrealism and fairy-tales. (Private collection, London UK).
SUN SEA SAND SURVIVORS
Based on merry go rounds and circus acts this tall piece depicts a horse supporting acrobatic clowns on its pole. The top transforms into a palm tree and a starfish rests at the base. (Private collection, London UK).
SUNSHINE CLOUD ON MIDNIGHT ELEMENT
Pinch, soft, undulations, volume, irregular and asymmetrical were the words used to provoke ideas for hand building this sculpture. It was the first of the cloud and grid/mesh series made and the work aided the advancement of future work following this sequence. A dry yellow matt glaze with lithium crystals was used to bring sunshine to what could be perceived as a gloomy cloud. The configuration of the bright bulging cloud and vivid blue geometric grid supporting it produces an unsettling equilibrium between the opposing forms. (Private collection, Notting Hill London UK).
SWEETIE ANTI EATER
This is a small piece from the puzzle pieces series. If assembled, it would form an at eater and sweets are decorated on the surface despite the fact ant eaters don't eat sweets, hence the title. High heel shoes clamber over the piece referencing MC Escher's drawings of staircases. Balls (with faces), another toy in addition to jigsaw puzzles, are intermittently scattered at intervals around the piece. Two joined children's torsos with pig and teddy heads are positioned on the back surface. (Private collection).
SYMBIOSIS
Symbiosis is made up of two separate parts which allow for re-positioning. The glossy animated inner form resides within a matt glazed bone-like nest, serving as both a protector and restrictor. The nestling sculpture has been meticulously hand modelled with protuberances reminiscent of deep rooted tree stumps. The richly textured surface and depth of glaze colour has been achieved by multiple firing and the use of gold lustre offers a hint of shimmer and curiosity, highlighting the interior. Opposites attract generating equilibrium. Shiny vs. matt, rough vs. smooth, angular vs. curved, growth vs. decay, positive vs. negative space have been considered. The focus on internal/external alludes to ceramic history and notions of containment. Pots, humans and natural forms are all vessels of water where inner workings make life possible. The use of polar opposites creates vitality and ambiguity, symbolising transience. Sold to a collector at the 2018 Carter Preston Prize, Bluecoat Display Centre Liverpool. (Private collection, UK).
TEDDIE NOONIE NOOKIE
The title of this work derives from Limp Bizkit's song, where the beat and confidence relate to the bold dynamic seen in this piece. Loud polka dots cover the legs and arms, and boxing gloves stand fiercely high above the main body. The body consists of characterful faces with a teddy bear with pink bow at the centre, from which flow baby and adult female torsos. (Private collection, UK).
THE KISS
The Kiss was made during the lockdown of 2021. This was a challenging period for the artist and her family. The Kiss symbolises this time whilst making reference to Brancusi's sculpture of the same name. The Kiss was represented by Jason Jacques Gallery in NYC during this period beofre being sold in the UK. (Private collection, London UK).
VERDIGRIS CRYSTAL ELEMENT
This piece was bought in conjunction with 'Heli Cacti' by a German ceramics collector. They sit alongside German ceramic artist Beate Kuhn's work. The collector saw an article in The New Ceramics Magazine and made contact. (Private collection, Germany).
