My pottery studio is in Central Maine.

My love for making pottery evolved partly from my training in performance and partly from my interest in Art-History.  I started dancing classes when I was three in London where I grew up.  By twenty I was performing in a London theatre whilst studying for my degree in Art-History.

Movement, dimension and balance are what fascinate me.

I spent a couple of years studying pottery under Barry Guppy in Pimlico, London.  He had studied under Lucie Rie and Hans Coper at Camberwell College of Art, eventually teaching beside them.  Here in Maine, I teach my-self.  I derive ideas from the art galleries, museums and theatres both in London and New York that I have worked in and the magic that is the North Woods.

The spinning of the earth through my fingers is exhilarating.  Just like preparing for a performance, I warm up physically and ensure that I am mentally focused before I start work.  I envision the form first, then I make some chalk drawings and do some clay models.

I want the viewer of my work to be enticed by its elegance and vibrancy.  I want them to feel the impulse to touch.
