'The Journey'

'The Journey'

Introduction

 

"Thank you so so much for  the most beautiful sculpture 'Protege'  it is everything and more of what I had hoped to find my mother.  It was her retirement party yesterday and She was absolutely thrilled with it."
 
 
 
I wanted to let you know that we gave my mum her present (Waiting) at the weekend and she loved it so much,she burst into tears! It was the absolutely perfect gift - I'm so glad I found you/it. I know she'll really treasure it.

Statement

  

 I search to create work which achieves an emotional response. I am moved by simple forms, clean and void of any unnecessary components, sculpture sincere to its form, material and surface.

The process of creating has been a must for me for a very long time and the materials I use vary according to the task in hand, I work mostly in clay the clay being cast in either bronze or resin, both in limited editions.
