The stone I carve has been formed over millennia.

Using tools and techniques which reach back to the Romans I create pieces to enhance your garden and home.

What lights up my stone carving?

A study of philosophy has coloured my work and my sculptures often include text. I take inspiration from the natural world and from poetry.

Inspired by the natural world, my work is intuitive and passionate. Several themes run through my work: shells, clouds, hollows, feathers….

A perennial fascination is with spoons - they symbolise so many things - nurture, love, civilisation, what makes us human. Fossils too, and I have created several ‘fossils’ for our time.

 I find that the constraints of working with one material lead to a distillation of ideas. I like to interpret small soft things into hard massive stone. I love the solidity and antiquity of stone. I often combine form and lettering.

My practice has recently extended to working with paint and mixed media - here is a contrast to the strictures of stone which is compelling and exciting. However, I will always return to stone.
