I am a partner in a UK based walking company, Wandering Aengus Treks, a qualified Swedish massage therapist and I also very much like to spend time on my art work when I have the opportunity. I am interested in creating movement and fluidity through patterns on a flat surface.

Using air dried clay, my aim is to achieve maximum optical impact by employing a technique of hand rolling clay into individual balls which, with the application of colour, create pictorial space.

The effect of differing light sources coupled with the position of the observer in relation to the piece bring about subtle yet altered effects of definition and perception.

My influences are the Pointillist art movement which explored colour relationships and the work of Op Artist, Bridget Riley.

Like massage, this meditative method of art soothes the mind, heals the body and strengthens the spirit.
