I am an artist who enjoys anything creative . My passion at present is pottery and I soak up anything and everything to do with clay . I am also a painter. I mainly do figurative and portrait in oils and occasionally landscape , also in oils . Painting has taken a back seat at the moment however in saying that I do incorporate my art into my pottery . I have discovered travel since retiring and for the first time am venturing out to discover other parts of the world and of course Aotearoa..The last two years have seen me venture to various parts of the world and I loved every bit of the experience . When I am not travelling or have my hands covered in clay I like to be out in my garden now that I have time to enjoy since retiring . My home is also one of my creative projects and I hope that you enjoy your time soaking up the tranquility and art inspired ambience I have created here . I get great pleasure out of sharing something I have created and my home is one of those .
