I am a sculptor, painter and printmaker. For the last 20 years I have been doing large bronze sculptures for the Public realm.
One local example is the Forest of Dean Miners’ tribute sculpture in the Cinderford triangle installed in the millennium year 2000. I have recently been commissioned by the Forest of Dean Free Miners Association to make a very large sculpted relief to commemorate the Forest of Dean Waterloo mining disaster of 1949 in which more than 200 miners were saved from drowning underground.
I am currently working on a massive bronze sculpture of Victorian Mathematician George Boole 1815-1864 with two schoolchildren for the forecourt of Lincoln Railway Station and a 9 ft bronze of 19 year old Anglo-American Spitfire pilot John Gillespie Magee 1922-1941, author of the famous poem ‘High flight’ for a small park in Wellingore Lincs. He died in a mid air collision aged 19.
I also do privately commissioned portrait busts, drawings and paintings and intend to return full time to painting and printmaking, once my present sculptural commissions are completed and installed.
See my website for examples of my work.
