What inspires you?

I am motivated by tying to communicate my message about how our wildlife is disappearing.

Describe your creative process.

I start with drawing and then carve my drawing into porcelain to make a 3 dimensional drawing. I use these carvings to make my moulds. I see mould making as central to my work, in a way the moulds are my work, the designing is all in the mould making.

Who are some artists that have influenced your work?

I have always loved Picasso, though his influence on my work is very indirect! Ceramicists I admire include Hitomi Hosono, Michael Eden and Joan Hardie.

Where do you go for inspiration?

I go bird watching every week and always love visiting galleries and museums.
