"I create sculptures for both indoor and outdoor settings, which range from small
mantlepiece sized to large scale, garden and public sculptures.
Taking inspiration from the human form and beauty within nature, my work
explores the body in different forms, poses and materials, emphasising the
integral connection between humans and nature. While I start my sculptures with
an idea or theme, I also leave them open to interpretation by the viewer.
My sculptures are either unique pieces or limited editions and combine the
understanding, knowledge and love of a vast range of materials and techniques
in bronze, copper, wood, stone and resins.
For each piece of new work I start with an idea, but am open to continual
exploration of materials to marry them with the desired form. The material informs
the shape and finish that the final piece takes.
From my workshop based in the beautiful countryside of west Dorset I continue
to develop my passion and knowledge of sculpture, materials and the human
form. Over the years I have secured a wide variety of commissions from private
and public clients, with work in galleries and collections across the country and
abroad."
