Artist Bio.
I am a wire artist creating pieces inspired by the natural world in particular flowers. I make a selection of wire sculptures in box frames where I like to combine them with driftwood or crystals. My work ranges from decorative pieces to one off commissions. I love to take long walks in the countryside capturing the next inspiration through photography, then back to the desk to begin drawing and planning my next piece. Using the skills I’ve learnt throughout a varied art/teaching career I like to achieve fluid and minimal designs celebrating natural forms in its purist way through wire.

NOTE: the Craft Barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails and unfortunately may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
