I am an artist based in Yorkshire, England and have been so since I graduated from Manchester University in 1999 with a first class honours degree in Contemporary Craft (where I specialised in ceramic sculpture and printed textiles). I have always had a deep love of animals and nature and it has always been a natural choice of subject matter for me in my work. I started to specialise in dogs after being inspired by a wonderful Doberman I looked after while I was at university and everything just catapulted from there!
