I love to work in the medium of metals for their gravity and endurance, my quest is to morph this inert, cold medium into natural forms, that both feel and respect the echo of nature and exude a tactile epoch of time. I find when shaping the medium, it is often transformed from the original concept into something quite different- a process reminiscent of nature adapting and evolving to achieve form and function. I love to explore themes of nature and science (as both benign and threatening forces), my place within them and the passage of time.

I strive and hope that occasionally, I manage to immortalize a glance of its beauty within a sculptural piece, a glance that feels sincere from every perspective, so as you circle of my sculpture I want you to go on a journey of discovery, and if the realised vision creates a smile, all the better.”

I have extensive experience of working with public and private organisations including The City of London, The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon, Fortnum & Masons, Valentino Garavani, Copelouzos Art Museum, Saga Group, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, NHS England, The Princes Trust, The Natural History Museum & Norwich Cathedral, my work can be found in collections on four continents.
