“I have always been drawn to sculpture and would touch the artwork to connect and experience the textures and shapes. When I sculpt I draw my inspiration from all the natural forms that I see on my walks. Whether it is the patterns on the beach that are left by the sea, plant seed heads, ripples of water, textures of tree bark, tree leaves, it all feeds into my creative emotions.

“I love my work to be touched and enjoy watching people read the contours and textures by handling them, just as I did when creating them. Each piece is a personal expression, and it’s a thrill when someone buys one of my sculptures which will hopefully bring them a lifetime of enjoyment.”
