Bird Forms in St Beads Red Sandstone & Birchover Limestone

Welcome to my website. I am a sculptor who has exhibited in the UK and abroad. I work in stone, wood and mild steel drawing inspiration from the natural world for figurative and abstract work.  I have lived in Asia and Africa and draw on traditional motives and compositions.

​My work has appeared in several mixed exhibitions and galleries in London, Manchester and Cheshire. I recently moved to Great Elm, Frome, Somerset.

I have  participated in several mixed exhibitions and solo exhibitions most recently with galleries in Manchester, Stockport, Macclesfield and Frome.
