ART SCENE

I’m an artist based by the ocean in Brighton, where I continually explore my local nature, creating ceramics to remind us of the earth’s beauty and our connection to it.

My ceramics are sculptural and functional, taking the shapes of vessels, bowls and plates. Th ese shapes resemble a feminine energy, pregnant with new beginnings. My vessels are a depiction of our own human bodies, our bones and our DNA.

My aim is to convey the similar vibrations and subtle mysteries I feel communicated from the earth. I want to help bring us back to nature and bring a touch of nature to our homes.

I teach pottery and painting classes in Sussex and London, where I help people connect with their creativity and destress with art. My classes and courses are very chilled and open for people to share about themselves and their lives. I really do believe anyone can make anything with the right amount of encouragement and kindness, and I’m happy to create this space for people.

Th ese are two are my latest pieces. I often make two together, resembling the male and the female slotting into one another or joining in some way. Th e clay is textured with sand and glazed with gloss on the inside showing the light within. Th e curves have their own story and unique experience with a desire to grow and reproduce. Th ey are, like the rest, a co-creation with nature herself.
