Diana Roles

I am an independent artist with a studio on the Berkshire Surrey borders.

Since leaving Middlesex University in 1990 I set up this studio where I have continued to develop my ideas, designing and making ceramic sculpture for the outside environment.

I work primarily in stoneware, a material that I find sympathetic towards my interpretation of natural form. Over the past few years inspirations for my pieces has drawn increasingly on my observations of the changing harmonies and muted colours which occur with the rhythms of the seasons with all their variety, fluidity and movement. The pieces produced reflect these observations and are intended to enrich their surroundings with elegance and interest, celebrating, not dominating, their environment.
