About

Janet was born and grew up in Wallasey on the Wirral. Whilst attending a Saturday morning life class, a casual remark was made that she may find working in a three-dimensional medium more rewarding.

This insight set her on a life long exploration of the endless possibilities of creative ceramics and an enduring love of clay. The following time spent at Art College and small independent potteries saw her fierce individuality and single-minded vision begin to shine. Her work is deeply routed in a respect for the clay's natural economy, incorporating textures that suggest intimate and sensuous curves.

With an unpretentious organic element, Janet's free-spiritedness and insatiable desire for life and her art, is reflected in a highly personal approach to her pottery.

Since becoming a single mum, she has continued her quixotic journey, mounting successful exhibitions, teaching and assembling a fine body of work, but never to the detriment of her beloved family and friends. These paradoxical needs have made her into a skilled juggler of her time that any world-class circus act would envy. 

A life long disciple of the wit and wisdom of the Marx Brothers and an almost fanatical emersion in art, poetry, literature and classical music, at times, her life has mirrored the emotional rollercoaster of the MGM musicals that she adores.

All of these things are represented and reflected in every new piece she completes.
