Hello,

I divide my time across the English Channel, I live in a small hamlet in the Vendée, France and in Swanage, Dorset. Formally Lifelong learning Manager at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth (now the Arts University) and since 2002 work as Studio Manager for my partner, the artist Peter Joyce. I started Timeline Arts in 2023 with a view to curating exhibitions and pop up sales.

We have been keen collectors of the arts over a good number of years including paintings, studio pottery, jewellery, mid-century furniture, French pottery and kitchenalia. I am hoping to introduce you to some of our favourite creators and to share our passion. Our particular love for ceramics has led to many years of collecting. One could say we have an eclectic taste, pots from the Leach tradition, porcelain, contemporary and domestic ware. The purpose of this website is to give you a flavour of the work that is likely to appear in my mixed exhibitions. My first online exhibition of ‘Pots & Paintings’ took place in March 2023, followed by ‘Leach Pottery & Associates’ online in July 2023. The first pop-up show took place at Furzebrook Studios near Wareham in December 2023.

Next up : 30th November - 8 December 2024 Exhibition at Furzebrook Studios, Wareham.
