My work draws upon my life long fascination with wild animals and the natural world and seeks to capture everyday moments within an animals life.  By exploring these moments I aim to provide insight into animal behaviour and how small, often minute changes in body form or expression can convey not only information, but also give insight into an individuals intent, motivation and emotional state. My work is strongly informed by my varied life experiences with wild animals as well as my academic understanding of animal behaviour gained during, and after being awarded my PhD investigating animal personality. It was during the early stages of my academic career that I came to fully appreciate and get excited by the complexities of animal behaviour.  I  now draw upon these experiences using clay as a medium to explore the beauty of the animal form and  hopefully reveal something previously unnoticed.

In recent months I have also begun to produce contemporary sculptures, exploring form and colour and how the two interact in the physical space. This body of work is currently evolving and developing as I explore this new aspect of my practice.
