| My relationship with stone began over fifteen years ago,and it has been my major source of employment and inspiration ever since. |
| |
| The steady, methodical process of carving stone suited me immediately, as did the fact that a bag full of tools was all that was required to get started . Once I had developed an interest in stone carving it opened my eyes to the wonders of architecture and sculpture in stone worldwide. |
| |
| After an initial art school training, I worked for some years in the stone industry to gain the skills required to move back towards making sculpture. Now I work to commission, for exhibitions and teach part time. |
| |
| I try to make sculpture that is fresh, uplifting and intriguing, combining the skills of an ancient craft with my desire to use stone in contemporary, innovative ways. Geometry plays a strong part in my work, as do things being contained within boxes, resulting in sculpture that hovers between abstract and representational with an often surreal twist. |
