My work is a study of nature, evidence of a lifelong obsession with plants and flowers. Exploring the diversity of form and intensity of colour, picking apart the details, and connecting with the viewer on an emotional level.
I find steel to be the most challenging of materials, aiming to transform an industrial, hard, cold material into something satisfyingly free, fluid and graceful, devoid of straight lines and uniformity. Inspired by the style of the Art Nouveau period.
I use a combination of hot forging techniques (fire, hammer and anvil), and metal fabrication (welding, cutting, grinding), to imitate the shapes found in nature underlying each of my designs. Work is produced in a variety of scales, from delicate and elegant small-scale sculpture for the home, to towering statement pieces for the garden.
I have had the honour of creating a number of public sculptures, for clients including NHS charities, The Open University, National Churches Trust, Gloucestershire County and Gloucester City Council.
Unfortunately it will not be possible to open my studio during this year's art trail, but visitors are welcome by appointment throughout the year if you would like to visit or make contact.
