About
I am an artist living and working in South East London.
My studio is located in Deptford at the very popular Cockpit Studios, where I have been working since 2015. I make a variety of pots in different sizes and scales, all inspired by my continuing fascination with eighteenth century collections of pottery and porcelain.
‘Pots fascinate me because they embody and articulate nuanced details about society and culture.'
