Christine sadly passed away in spring 2023. Her work was loved by so many and we are delighted that her studio has decided to continue on her legacy, producing work in Christine’s unique style. After some time without these gorgeous creatures, it is such a joy to have them back in the gallery.
Christine was an artist all her life and her dedication brought us timeless creations that are featured in many of the UK’s most prestigious galleries. Her ceramic work is instantly recognisable through her very own unique style of Raku firing, the animals she sculpts each have their own quirky personality and charm and her natural ability to create such life-like creatures from clay makes them truly unique and unmistakably Christine’s!
Her early work focused on her extensive studies of pigs. Capturing their character and beauty, she always remembers drawing inspiration from her pet pig, Jezabelle. From there, Christine’s collection grew to whole menagerie of animals including foxes, goats, hens, hares, geese and many more. To capture such detail her work relies on tireless research and observation, she studied the anatomy and physiology of each wonderful creature to sculpt her own beautiful adaptation. Her unique style is followed by thousands and her work is now exported internationally.
