The main influence on her art is the ancient and universal symbol of the spiral. As well as finding it a beautiful and pleasing form, She is intrigued by its symbolic significance. Spirals can be seen extensively in nature in the form of plant structures, patterns of growth, and in the movement of elements. Prehistoric cave paintings and tribal carvings show examples of spiral motifs and demonstrate how early humans instinctively knew the significance of the spiral, which modern science has since proven with the discoveries of the double helix of DNA all the way up to spiral galaxies. She is also fascinated by clockwork and mechanical machinery, the workings of which she see as a kinetic representation of the spiral.
Most of her work to date has taken the form of handbuilt ceramic sculpture, primarily using grogged clay and dry finish glazes to create a textural quality much like those found either in nature on lichens and moulds, or as a result of natural forces acting on man-made materials, such as rusts and patinas. However she also work in other media, particularly metal.
