My career as an artist has so far spanned 20 years over which, beginning with my education as a sculptor/painter, I have amassed a wide range of skills and experience in conjunction with my art practice that has included drawing on the spot caricatures of celebrities such as David Bellamy through to teaching, residencies and restoring the Queens ornate picture frames at Windsor.

Throughout, I have remained true to the persuit and development of my own work and aesthetic, the result of which I have on show around the UK.

In 2008 a relocation created the opportunity for me to open my first gallery located in Shropshire, where I showcase my own work and aim to offer a supportive gallery space for like minded creatives whos work compliments my own.

Primarily a sculptor at heart, I have striven to create a range of work that is completely my own, something truly original. The result is a growing range of fun, strikingly contemporary animal sculptures, each with a bespoke finish and all linked by the use of witty wordplay that will tease the viewer.
