Bio
I express my sculpture through the medium of stone, metal and wood. As a ‘direct carver’ I carve stone without first producing a model, working with materials sourced as close as possible to my location. I have sculpted all my life.
I trained as a typographer and book cover designer at the London College of Printing. In the early 1990s I retrained as a stone and letter carver at the City and Guilds of London Art School. My early years as an apprentice mason were spent getting to understand stone and producing replacement carvings in restoration work. This included six months working at Hereford Cathedral carving segments of the replacement Rose window. I also studied under John Roberts, the renowned Welsh sculptor. (John Roberts carved the modern-day martyrs on Westminster Abbey.)
