Statement

Animals are very much like humans, they have their own individual characters & relate to each other in a group. I try to give each animal its own personality, highlighting their characteristics. Ostriches look so ungainly yet have such haughty, sophisticated faces. Rhinos have amazing expressions in their faces & look like they have a great sense of humour. My puffins like to sit in groups & often look like they are having a bit of a gossip.

Recently I have participated in a pit firing and am now experimenting with the surface decoration achieved to create a new body of work.
