Having been brought up in a very rural setting, I chose a career in horticulture however sculptural work using natural materials has become a very important part of my life over the last 20 years. I use willow as well as other natural materials such as hazel, bramble, wild clematis, iris leaves, New Zealand flax, dogwoods, etc… More recently I have begun to explore the use of natural material with ceramics. My parents were ceramicists (my mother still is) so it is interesting to me that I have come full circle and now include their medium in my work.
