The Clwydian Hills of Denbighshire, North Wales are the inspiration for my current work.  The constant changes that the seasons bring along with man’s presence on the landscape, since the first Iron Age forts, to modern day farming.  I am interested in the scars left on the hills by industry and by how quickly these abandoned places are ‘healed’ by nature.

Initially interested in Raku firing and the many colour variations I was able to produce, I am currently using an electric kiln and a limited colour palette of mainly oxides, believing that in my current work, less is more.
