Explore minuscule environments - abstracted rooms, cities and houses

The artist

While I have always been inspired by architecture and its multi-dimensional portrayal of form, the inspiration for my work is in fact multifaceted and includes architecture, space, memory and emotion.

Visit the shop

Visit the shop for unique porcelain artwork, perfect for your home or as a gift. Beautiful objects to hold, collect and arrange.

I work exclusively with porcelain as the intrinsic characteristics of the material, its translucence and delicate paper-like quality enable me to fully realise my concepts. I make minuscule environments- abstracted rooms, cities and houses.
