Biography

British born and educated, I now live and work on Saltspring Island, which is off the west coast of Canada.
I've been an artist all my life. I had some modest success as a painter, but moved to design and functional art production working in a wide range of materials. I now find myself with thirty years experience in selling art objects directly to the public, predominantly at the Saltspring Island market where you can still find me every Saturday.
As my username suggests, currently I make vases. The vases I make are truly unique, not only in the sense that each is distinct, but also because I personally developed my approach and methods and am the only person using natural stone and gemstones in this way.
I have recently completed a detailed and illustrated description of my methods, including step by step instructions for manufacturing vases. I am interested in hearing from creative individuals who are attracted to working with natural stone and gemstones and can see the potential of my designs and methods.
