After graduating from Art School in 1993, I established a business designing and making metal clocks. 
I used many techniques, including etching, engraving and riveting to create a range of unusual designs for both free-standing and wall clocks. These sold in galleries and were also commissioned by several Cambridge colleges and libraries.
Since establishing the clocks I divide my time between metalwork and painting and am passionate about both! My pictures are created using mixed media and layered paper, mostly featuring still lives and Cambridge scenes. I’ve found that there’s a natural overlap in my metal clocks and the paintings. Textures and patterns that featured in my pictures have been developed and transformed onto metal. I love experimenting with new ideas and techniques, alongside many that I have previously used. I work with a variety of metals, including nickel silver, brass, aluminium and copper. Designing and making clocks satisfies my desire to combine aesthetic appeal, interest, and functionality.
I very much enjoy running weekly art classes. In these sessions we work with many different mediums and welcome both beginners and those with experience. The classes are relaxed, with a focus on learning techniques whilst enjoying the process and building in confidence
