Maker's statement

Allowing my work to cross between useful and sculptural has been really beneficial to creating objects that are adored and used daily in my home. The brushes I have created are experimental and playful. They have been made to be used, but will happily sit on a shelf or wall. I have been experimenting with texture and shape and have begun to make small sculptural objects. These studies have allowed me to have a further understanding of the materials and to explore my creativity.
