Commissioned Mosaic & Sculpture Work 

Based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire

About My Work

Gabrielle's work has comprised three strands; ceramic sculpture, coloured glass mosaic and community art.  Soft & white porcelain, bright & colourful glass commissions and a cheerful nurturing of the natural creativity that we all innately possess.  In her 'previous life', with her established edible forest and Sculpture Garden, she created a magical haven for nature, sculpture and people alike. The move from this property prompted a re-evaluation.  Always influenced  nature, Gabrielle's porcelain fungi refer to the vast number of qualities fungi have; their visual geometry, their ability to clean up oil, diesel and even radioactive pollution, they feed us, make soil, nurture woodlands and support life itself. They spotlight the delicate translucency of the porcelain which casts wonderfully calming atmospheric light, an optimism even in darkness.

Shifting light enhances the physicality of the colourful, often marbled or iridescent glass and ceramic tiles. Gabrielle's pieces make new landmarks and present peaceful connection points, holding places of transition that offers the space for contemplation.
