I grew up in London and while still in my teens, I won a place to study at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Who’d have thought, all these years later, my classical and contemporary dance training would inform the work I create today? I learnt ceramics through the Adult Education system in the 1980's and went on to set up my own studio practise in 1987.
I work hard, but it rarely feels like work because I love the creative process. My passion drives me. I put in the hours at my trusty home studio in Grantham Lincolnshire and am passionate about the hand built dynamic of my work and the qualities this way of working with clay can achieve. 
Aside from my creative practise, I’ve set up and run a number of successful, cutting-edge, contemporary craft galleries including The Bothy Gallery at Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Midas Contemporary Applied Arts in Lincoln.
When not busy in my studio, or attending fairs and exhibitions, I enjoy my role as a practising ceramics tutor at both Leicester and Loughborough Universities and mentor within the creative industries. I am registered on the Crafts Council Directory and an associate member of The Craft Potters association and a member of London Potters.

After leaving college, I performed in theatres up and down the country. Though passionate, I grew weary, for once the show was over, the work ceased to exist. My yearning to create work less ephemeral led me first to the clay, then jewellery and now I concentrate solely on my ceramics practise.
