I am a figurative stone carver, introduced to sculpture at a young age through a family connection with Henry Moore. My godfather, one of Moore’s assistants, immersed me in the collections of Kettle’s Yard, the Fitzwilliam Museum, and the home of Sir Frederick Gibberd in Harlow.

Travel and conservation have shaped my practice. As Sculpture Conservator at the Henry Moore Foundation, I have encountered global traditions, from the Tumaco culture of Colombia and Ecuador to British modernism. These influences, alongside Moore’s early works and the sculpture of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, inform my carvings, which explore time, emotion, and material.

Hands are a recurring theme, modelled on my own. They appear as nurturing forms, supportive structures, or more enigmatic presences—celebrating the creative tool that makes sculpture possible.

I trained at St Albans and Canterbury College of Art, graduating in 1990, with earlier experiences at Cyprus College of Art, Canterbury Cathedral, and as assistant to sculptor Stephen Cox. Exhibiting widely across the UK, I received the Tom Pemberton Travel Award, working at Henraux Marble Yard, Italy. My work is held in private collections in the UK and Europe. I live and work in Essex.
