Initially inspired by the stone carvings of the Shona sculptors of Zimbabwe I trained as a stone mason at Bath College and then completed an apprenticeship at Gloucester Cathedral in an effort to master a medium and accidentally had a 22 year career as a stone mason and maker. I am a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and have exhibited in the RWA and London with pieces in the private collection of the Wellcome Trust and Bristol University.
I love traditional tooling techniques and enjoys trying to capture movement in stone. Geometry, science and the natural world are all strong influences on my work and I have a strong affinity with the vessel form after falling in love with a racing yacht I saw in a Scottish harbour aged 11.
