ARTISTS STATEMENT Having found my true vocation as an artist in middle years Last year Wind and Willow installations became a most satisfying expression, culminating as a peaceful and liberating development in my work. This year the the theme of flight continues, with a progression into forms representing the journey of life to the empty nest syndrome. Valerie 2008

I experience a sense of urgency to re-create
new ideas before they fade quickly into the past.
Initially I worked with lovely responsive clay, making pots,
figurative sculptures and reproducing garden ornaments commercially.
This led to the dragons and goddesses being reproduced in cold cast bronze
and are available to purchase.
Artists residencies and workshops regularly enhance and inspire my own creativity. Sharing my skills is an immense pleasure, so offer this service to schools, groups, and festival events.
Movement and flight have been a consistent theme, from the story of Yeannoh, mythical dragons, and the experience of sailing in all the elements.
