I live and work in the beautiful countryside on the Shropshire/Powys border, with my husband, 4 English Setters and 4 Cats.
I was born in Liverpool, and lived on the Wirral for a large part of my life and, after various moves, finally settled in the Shropshire/Powys border 14 years ago.
I've always had a love of the countryside and a passion for animals. I'm very keen on Conservation and Animal Welfare issues; I donate an amount from each sculpture I sell to a number of selected Animal Treatment, Animal Rescue and Conservation societies.
I've worked in some form of Art since I was 15 - starting in watercolour painting, but finally discovering the joy of sculpture. After trying various methods and materials, I settled with ceramic sculpture as my preferred form over 14 years ago.
Most of the sculptures are Raku fired - I find that this gives a richness and individuality to each hand made piece. Most of my work has been by commission, and I have sold work as far afield as America and Hawaii.
Below are some quotes from the book:
Because we have already taken theirs."
They will just Vanish.
And after they are gone, there will be silence
And there will be stillness.
And there will be empty places.
And nothing you can say will change this.
And nothing you can do will bring them back."
