As an artist I am interested in the relationship between people and the environment. Shapes found in nature inspire me. My work explores the balance between nature and culture.

The particular qualities of each material I use are important to me.

Working with the given qualities of the living material, which have hidden within them the history of belonging to the natural environment.

I specialise in the design and fabrication of site-specific artworks for public spaces. I collaborate with other artists, architects, planners and engineers on projects. Working with individuals, the community, conservation/environmental groups and schools to create sculptures and furniture that enhance parks, school grounds and gardens.

My training background consists of fine art sculpture combined with the discipline of woodcarving.
