Biography

Walking daily through the landscapes around the studios gives a constant focus for what I am trying to make. My sculptures have a quiet English based quality of man and nature In the way that we hear countryside through Britton or Vaughan Williams.

“We have always been conscious of the changeable climate of our sea-washed country, where the air is never quite free from the mist, where the light of the sun is more often pale and pearly than it is fierce. This atmosphere has sunk in to our souls. It affects our art as it effects our life. But it has not resulted in congenital softness of vision”
John Piper

It is the business of observing acutely and recording – of searching for the line and shape and images.

You have to make art from what you know about – a celebration of locality.
