BEd hons, BA hons
I am an artist and sculptor fortunate enough to live and work in the beautiful New Forest on the Hampshire and Dorset borders.
​
I make work from willow, wire, steel, ceramics, wood and found objects.
​
My dual fascination with materials and drawing has lead me to create 3-dimensional artworks in a variety of media.
​
An innate belief in the importance of sustainability coupled with a reluctance to throw useful objects away has given rise to a desire to make work that reuses worn, weathered, obsolete materials and elevates them through an appreciation of their patination and wear to objects of desire.
​
"I find that there is a holistic pleasure that comes from making sculpture from natural materials."
​
"I am fascinated to see how time and use can alter the surface of materials. I find rust, corrosion and verdigris very inspiring"
​
"Willow and wire sculptures represent for me the challenge of drawing in 3-dimensions"
