I design and create one-off ceramic sculptures of people some - with
humorous qualities, all of which capture the observed essence of human
behaviour. I like to think that my sculptures are humorous and slightly
whimsical and that all of my pieces are unique both in form and
personality
My inspiration comes from observing life around me; I only make figures
of happy people and people enjoying themselves. Human nature is
immensely interesting to me and I want to express it all in my
sculptures. Many of my figures are musicians or have a Scottish context.
I do not seek anatomical perfection, preferring instead a stylised
technique that I feel retains the expression of human behaviour
Each piece is hand made using earth-stone clay, glazed and fired in
electric kiln up to four times, firing temperature is 1250ºC.

| Away from my full time work as a Technical Consultant,
for the Building Research Establishment I like nothing better than to
fill my time as an artist, and like to spend my weekends creating new
designs. Hopefully this pleasure will be conveyed to all who possesses
my figures, be it just a single piece or a collection, and my wish is
that they derive many years of joy from my work |
