I first became fascinated in ceramics while at a summer Art school in Cyprus during my student years. My current work has been a study of pottery, alongside creating my own ceramics. I tend to work with a limited palette, often using blues and greys, but enjoy the spark of complementary colours. Many are still life compositions but I also at times work with contemporary interiors. My preferred media is oil paint but I also work in acrylics.
