Warrington Open Art Exhibition

So happy to say I have been selected to exhibit at Warrington Museum and Art Gallery from 30th Sept to 29th Oct 2016. The pieces I am exhibiting are the Porcelain Pansy Sculpture and the Porcelain Edelweiss Sculpture. Both item are for sale. Happy days !

Masked Up

 I've just completed a new piece of ceramic to be entered in an art exhibition. The theme is WATER and the environmental impact that we have on polluting our oceans, the theme raises political and ecological concerns. My design depicts the most powerful and largest marine mammal, the Killer Whale, but even this mammal succumbs to wearing a filter mask to filter out the many toxins being released into our environment and water. The idea of it is preposterous, even comical, or is it !

Tree Nymphs

I've been sooo busy recently. I've just completed a couple of sculptures for ' Go Figure ' exhibition at an Altrincham art gallery. Art With a Heart Regeants rd. They are being exhibited until the beginning of March and can be purchashed and collected at the end of the exhibition.

Here is my artist statement to go with the sculptures:

I am a ceramic artist. I use various types of clays and use a wide range of methods to create one off individual pieces of art. The inspiration for these two sculptures derive from the organic nature of the materials combined with the love of the natural world. My passion for organic forms and the cycles of nature and life have inspired me to create these metamorphic sculptures. I hope to depict how the cycles of life and nature are entwined, compatible and in love with one another. I chose the female form to signify fertility and rebirth as in the natural world.
