INSPIRED BY NATURE
Welcome to the world of The Fireside Dragon. A world of nature, whimsy and story telling captured in ceramics and illustrations. I hope that my work brings you joy as I explore nature and folklore, and that it inspires you to discover your own creative life.

FOLKLORE, SPIRITUALITY and STORYTELLING THROUGH CERAMICS AND ILLUSTRATION
The beauty of hares, wonder of mushrooms and the magic of the mighty oak |
The mighty oak tree provides endless inspiration, with oak leaves and acorns a recurring theme in my ceramics. Signifying strength and wisdom I have stashes of oak leaves in the workshop, you can never have too many oak leaves in your life!
When drawing I often work on vintage and antique books, repurposing them to extend their life in the form of original illustrations, prints and cards. There is always the challenge to create the right interpretation between word and image. I love capturing the personality of a creature, often exaggerating one aspect to accentuate their personality.
Each character I create, whether in clay or drawn, has its own backstory; I return again and again to the noble, intelligent and beautiful hare full of symbolism and magic.
