Contemporary Sculptor
About Me
I trained in sculpture at Bath Academy of Art, where I began my journey in stone carving. With the Academy close to the renowned Bath Stone quarries, I was able to pick up a lump for little money and, hand forging my own tool, I started carving.
​
A few years later, I spent nine months at the Cyprus College of Art, further honing my sculpting skills. Following a successful, sold-out exhibition in Nicosia, I embarked on my career as a stone sculptor.
​
Since then, I have exhibited my work primarily in London and Bath, as well as across the UK and internationally. My pieces have reached destinations from California and New Zealand to a nightclub in Bangkok.
​
I typically work in limestone, predominately of French origin, along with notable English limestones such as Bath, Portland, and Ancaster stone.
​
I have been a proud member of the Royal Society of Sculptors since 1997.
