MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Having followed a career in special needs housing, social
work and research, I trained in art as a mature student. I
live in Devon and work as a sculptor and photographer. Alongside
this, I continue to work freelance in the development of housing
and residential care for people with special needs. I am also
involved in running art workshops.
Professional Development
It is important to me to keep developing as an artist and
my ‘continuing professional development’ involves
using training and peer support in a variety of ways, including
membership of the Devon Artists Network and taking part in
group ‘open studio’ exhibitions. Since leaving
college, I have attended courses in many techniques including
cold casting, African stone carving, clay modelling from life,
painting, life drawing, computer graphics and desk top publishing.
Exhibitions
I exhibit regularly in sculpture gardens, galleries and art
fairs, and work to commission. I have shown work at the Mythic
Garden on Dartmoor, Art Haven in Exeter, the Royal Devon &
Exeter Health Care Arts Trust, the Nine Days of Art in Devon,
the South West Contemporary Art Fair and the RISE Exhibition.
I also hold ‘open studio’ events. MY work is held
in private collections around the country. In 2006 I will
be showing work at the Mythic Garden near Chagford, Artspace
in Henley, the Court Barton Art Exhibition at Thorverton,
and Glastonbury.
Pricing
Until recently the cost of my sculptures has reflected the
fact that stone carving is very time consuming. As well as
carving I have now started making casts in marble and limestone
and this makes it possible to sell sculptures at more affordable
prices. I have also developed a new series of gallery quality
prints from photographs and paintings, and a range of greetings
cards and postcards.
