She responds equally to the inner and outer worlds with a most sensitive awareness of their relationships. This intuitive perception is the outstanding quality of her drawings from life and her sculptures.
I am currently working on a series of Shakespearean images inspired by my drawings, slightly more abstracted and made using a steel and aluminium armature covered with mixed media materials which are then coloured.
This has resulted in a marriage of sculptural form and subtle colour.

Born 1944, married 1963 and has two sons and a grand daughter.
Following an overland trip to India in 1969 I became influenced by humanitarian issues and many of my subsequent commissions reflect this, notably, Famine.
The patronage of the church, historically the great patron of sculptors, has been an enabling influence for my work. The sculptors role in producing a memorial is a very sensitive task, both a privilage and a responsibility, and I try to interpret the wishes of my commissioner both architecturally and imaginatively.
