I have been making sculptures, mostly with clay, for nearly 20 years. Expressive and instinctive, the work explores psychological representations of the body and the intimate mutual existence between art and life
I studied at Glasgow School of Art and then The Royal College of Art before becoming a Lipman Research Fellow in Ceramic Sculpture at Newcastle University. This was followed by a Sainsbury Scholarship in Sculpture and Drawing at the British School at Rome and the inaugural Ceramics Fellowship at Camden Arts Centre and more recently a Leverhulme Research Fellowship exploring the relationship between clay and writing.
Solo exhibitions include No Dimensions, Matt’s Gallery (2025); A is for Alma, Hatton Gallery (2024); Night Portraits, De La Warr Pavilion (2023); Spanish Lobe, Camden Arts Centre (2011) and Pontoon Lip, a collaborative exhibition with Celia Hempton at Cell Projects (2014). My work has been acquired by numerous private collections and the Arts Council of England Collection and was shown in the touring ACE exhibition, Breaking the Mould: Sculpture by Women Since 1945 which opened at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in May 2021.
