The Elizabeth Spiers Art Gallery features a constantly changing display of my figurative ceramic sculptures, many of which are based on figures from Greek, Roman and other mythologies. The current work reflects my interest in the blending of human and animal features in both iconic and everyday situations and poses. The one thing they all have in common is presence - each piece is intended to engage with the observer who can easily be drawn into the honesty and humour of the work. Frequent comments are that the figures make you smile and sometimes almost talk to you.
My sculpture is created in my home studio; each piece is individually sculpted by hand and completely unique; nothing is reproduced from moulds. The glazes have been developed to give a very simple, ancient 'just excavated' look which often contrasts with and emphasises the humour, and fits wonderfully with any style of decor.My other passion is vintage fashion accessories, especially handbags. My handbag collection covers many decades, starting from the 1920s, and includes bags to complement both day and evening wear. Only a small part of my collection is on show or for sale at any one time. If you can't see what you want please let me know - I might have the very thing you require waiting to go on display!
