I am a ceramicist and have been working in my studio on the Isle of Bute for the last seven years. All my work is hand-built and painted with coloured slips. Pieces are often fired several times in my electric kiln. Before each firing subtle changes are made to the colours until I am happy with the result.

My individual hand-built pieces are largely inspired by the muted colours and textures of the island's seascapes- the skies, the waters and the rocky shores
