Since the age of six I've always been good with my hands.
I remember at junior school my papier- mache totem pole that won high acclaim.
Ten years later, I attended York College of Art and studied design for four years, leaving with a credible degree and a job to go to.
Twenty five years of being a designer, creative director and freelance consultant ensured that briefs were interrogated, deadlines met and creativity switched on and off at a moments notice.
In my garage at the age of forty two, sculpture came into my life.
As an observer of everything around me and a good sense of spatial awareness that I inherited from my father, I began to create what was to be my personal revelation, a joy and a channel to express my emotions through sculptural forms.
A new world had opened up before me and just two years later, I was putting my work into bronze.
To this day, I feel that I am still at the foot of the stairs, still wanting to see and learn more and to share my sparks of inspiration and spontaneity with others.
Sculpture has given me a feeling of purpose, something that can be enjoyed by so many who will see and feel something for themselves.
So, I will continue my quest, to take commissions and to tickle the insides of my audiences.
