THE FULL STORY

Maxipoppins

Moving on from my career as a special needs ICT Teacher, I have reverted to my first love of 3D art, focussing primarily on ceramics.  Not wishing to be entirely limited to one medium, I often incorporate textiles, wire, or bead work into my overall finished pieces.  My inspiration can be found in down-at-heel Victoriana, cabaret and music hall, the FAE, and my own mythical world, Blinksville.  My current series of pieces focus on the distinctive form of court jesters and incorporate wire and bead work.

​

Blinksville is a mythical place born from my imagination.  It has been with me for as long as I can remember and evolves with time.  Blinksville is other worldly and is home to the fabulous, the quirky and the strange.  I'm epileptic, so at times when my health is challenged, I step into Blinksville and dwell in the fantastical landscapes, playing with the outlandish inhabitants.  Home will always be best, but Blinksville holds my soul.
