Hello and welcome to my home page.

I originally studied Fine Art at Edinburgh university and Art College. Mainly drawing and painting but with some ceramics in modeling from the figure.

After some years and several continents later (check out our other web page, Andy and Rona, for more on this), where my sole artistic  activity consisted of setting up whacky web pages, I attended a "Mad teapots" ceramics weekend workshop at North Sydney Community Centre and discovered, somewhat to my amazement, that I really hadn't lost the talent.

Finally, in 2005, after more years than I care to own up to, I decided to part company with the IT industry and study ceramics full time at Hornsby TAFE on Sydney's upper  north shore.  Last year, I completed the entire ceramics curriculum  finishing with an Advanced Diploma. The photo is of me surrounded by my works as a part of my graduation exhibition.

This year, 2012, I feel that it is about time for a change and have decided to diversify somewhat and am starting a Diploma in Fine Art at Meadowbank TAFE which, amongst other things, will give me the opportunity to try different sculptural media.

I am still a member of  Macquarie Hills Potters  which gives me access to larger kilns for my ceramic works together with the opportunity to do more experimental firings such as pit and black firings.

This site is to showcase a few of my favourite pieces. I hope you enjoy them.
