Having decided to become a sculptor some 15 years ago, I set about to
study of both anatomy and works from the leading artists throughout history.
After becoming familiar with various materials I was commissioned by major
companies within the giftware field. This was an opportunity to further
study the dynamics and processes of sculpture. Many copies of my work have
been made available in countries worldwide.
I then had the chance to open
my own studio, and for several years and worked
on individual sculptures
for private collections and commissions, working with clay, stone and other
materials, concentrating on outdoor sculptures.
These days, however I am
to be found either in Pinewood or Shepperton studios working in the film
industry sculpting pieces for film sets and film promotion. I do hold personal
works within a gallery setting. My belief is that a piece of art should
touch on a feeling, which is personal to both the viewer or owner of that
particular piece, and therefore I try to create work which fulfils this.
