Full-time Professional Sculptor

Before I developed my unique woodcarving style, I worked in varied roles, mainly in carpentry and construction. Since 2021 I have turned full time to artistic wood carving.

I studied Art from sixteen to eighteen in Cambridge, England- this had always been my main focus and intention for the future. My tutor suggested Kings College London, where he had connections. He and others in the department loved my paintings but disliked my mysticism and attitude. I left and worked in construction. but I never abandoned art. Over the years I have left many other positions in favour of experience in a new field, mostly because I knew that my desire to produce unique sculptural forms and progressive musical instruments, and to work directly (to design and make, as an individual, rather than as a company or as designer only), would require a diverse set of skills.

I work to commission and have speculative pieces for sale, existing artworks and commissions are available for delivery worldwide.
