The Artist Speaks
“I have had no formal sculpture training, but instead followed a more traditional route, serving as assistant to the sculptor Peter Randall-Page for ten years (between 1989-99). This involved working in all aspects involved in the production of stone sculpture, including enlargement by triangulation from maquettes, exhibitions, symposia, and numerous public and private commissions.
“With my own work, I divide my time between carving new work for exhibitions, as well as undertaking commissioned work. Below is a selection of events and exhibitions that I have been involved with over the last few years. My work now features in many private collections, both in the UK and abroad.”
